Make it a steep canyon with a deep sand bed at the bottom. Prime real estate for garden eels!

That would be cool. But I'm not really Interested in eels.

Just some things to consider

Will it be viewable from both sides?
How big are you looking for your tank?
Adequate ventilation for heat and moisture and storage space?
If house is 2 floors will display be up and plumbing be down?
How much room for cleaning and moving stuff around?
Future room considerations IE. remodelling, purpose built, resale value?

Just some ideas

it will be going into a basement.
venting wont be a problem.
id like to stay under 600 gallons so i wouldnt have to buy any more equipment.

i get about 600sq feet of basement space to have tank and sump room.
