Unfortunately not. All equipment goes under the tank. I thought about using some space in the laundry room but I don't think the rest of the family would be pleased.

Eli over at fijireefrock hooked up the rock that came with the tank.
Heres all the big pieces I got. Also have another box full of rubble.
Gave this rock a bleach bath and soaked in regular water for a couple weeks. Probably shouldnt have done that when it was below freezing outside as the water in the garbage bins froze.

I guess I should have done a full equipment list to begin with but oh well. Here's everything that I have as of right now.

Tank: 90 x 24 x 31 tall (Starphire front and back, Eurobrace)
Stand: 90 x 24 x 35 tall
Sump: 60 x 18 x 18
Powerheads: 2 x Jebao WP-60
Return Pump: Aquaeon 6000
Heaters: 2 x Jager 300 Watt
Controller: Neptune Apex Standard
Skimmer: Vertex Alpha 250
Lights: 4 x Ecotech Radio XR30W Gen 3 Pro
ATO: Tunze Osmolator Auto Top-Off
RODI: Vertex Puratex Deluxe RODI - 100GPD (might test my patience)

Have 80lbs of sand and enough rock to do some cool aquascapes.
I think this covers everything.

Once drywall was installed.





On the left there is a line for freshwater as well as a pipe that runs into the laundry room. The plan for that is to mix water downstairs and then pump it up into the tank. Other than that all equipment will be underneath the tank.

Also, there are 8 wall outlets on top of the tank as well as 6 underneath which should be sufficient (2 separate breakers).

You can see a hole in the ceiling for the ceiling fan (same as the washroom fans) which is to be controlled by a humidity sensor.

Once first coat of paint was done the custom cabinets came in.
