Ryans new build (Planning stage)

[Ryanst]

Here is a drawing of how I would like to set up the family room.

I will be installing a tub sink in the fish room so I will be cutting a drain through the concrete into the fish room. I will be looking into hrv systems.

Are you planing to connect your FOWLR and your SPS tank to the same sump???

This is a very bad idea. Your FOWLR tank is huge and you will never be able to get your nitrates down to a level that your SPS will grow.

I would also not mix lions and triggers, some get away with it (for a period of time), but for the most part you are looking at a disaster.

.....look into installing a HRV or at least a vent for an exhaust fan (that is great advice, you will have a lot of water in the house)

It looks like you are trying to do things right, so I would research a few of the ideas here.

.......going to be a fantastic build, have fun!
