Thanks yeah I have the best view in the house lol. If this tank is anything like my current one the end view will be my fav.

I had considered an elevated office area so I look straight into the tank but I don't want to make the room any less flexible than it already is. Plus I don;t really want to make a hollow sound as I wheel my office chair on a platform

So if I get this right, you will be able to see in the front and both ends while the equipment goes behind?

No the front and office end are the viewable sides. Sump will be directly under my overflow...area behind the back of the tank is open with a raised platform for access to back of tank. Since I laid this model out the tank has been moved 1 foot closer to the desk and the corridor behind the tank has been narrowed from 2 feet to about 18 inches.

Whats the software you used to design the room?

So are you going to get your open water certification in that thing lol

Trina that's made in google sketchup. It's free and if you've never done any 3d before pretty easy to sort out. It's not really that great ompared to the software I have experience with so sometimes I get a little ****y at it lol.

I'd love to get my dive certification anywhere really! This cat's only ever been snorkelling unfortunately.

Just wondering why you have the door to the room for the access behind the tank where it is instead of parallel with the tank - for storage ? I would have the door /wall where the jam is closest to the tank side for a more open look - JMO(which I'm told doesn't mean much). Also you didn't answer my ? when are they coming to put the bracing on dammit ?
