Flfrom an electrician standpoint, I would highly recommend running #12 wire and using 20A breakers and plugs. Not much extra cost, they're doing that in kitchens on new houses anyways.
And plan if you would like normal wall switches running puumps or lights or anything. You can get some neat devices like Christmas light timers andsuch to run your lighting. At least that's what I dream about for mine someday

another good thing to think about when doing your fishroom is to build your sump up on a stand high enough to work in where as you dont need to be bending over.....wish i had that option lol

The things I like most about my fishroom so far (still under construction)
- sump is elevated and not under anything - lots of light to see what I'm doing - 2-part epoxy floor is nice to walk on and cleans up perfectly - laundry tub is a no-brainer but wow it's so convenient

Excellent thread guys...I was going to ask this exact question soon myself.
I've heard many times to put the electrical plugs high so no fear of water issues or drip loops.

I tried to start a thread like this a while ago with pictures but it died!
People should post some pics of their fishrooms, or semi-constructed fishrooms. I am also building an odd one and am always looking for ideas.

One thing i wish I had in mine. Emergency floor drain. My stand's built to hold some good size leaks, but... if something bad happened, I"d be replacing a lot of floor and drywall.

I would consider running all your electrical wire inside 1/2" or larger PVC...same with your electrical outlets, used for outside use typically. If you use metal they will likely rust and salt creep may appear over time.

As for vents.... Air exchanger... drawing both on a humidity sensor..... Best bet for sure....
As for wood shelves.... Steel is almost the same price if you have a welder friend and way way more stable.... Heres a 180 rack i built for myself in my basement/X fishroom lol   Dual 180's with a 100 gallon sump... worked amazing
