I am putting the 120" screen in and I read on internet that i need 14' away from 3D projector that i am going to buy. I have about 32 inch not including the dry wall yet from the wall to edge of window. Do you think i have enough room for standard closet? I read and they said the standard size is 27 inch, is this true?

Have you played around with other layouts for the rest of the basement? You probably got a large window directly behind your screen. It might be better positioned where your fish room is now.

here is my current layout. Initially i was going to put the projector where the fish tank is now but it does not give me good place to put the wet bar and fish tank without doing a major concrete cutting. Plus all bathroom stuff are already rough in so moving it to some where else would be costly.

Sinks have to vented in a certain way, I'm not a plumber but I'm pretty sure you can't just tie sinks in together especially since I believe the toilet and the shower are actually using the sink vent. Be sure to verify exactly how that all needs to be connected with a plumber before getting too far.

Personally I think I'd move the bathroom rough ins a little, reposition everything so the bathroom runs the other way and eats up some of that mechanical room space. Make the bar a u-shape and push that into the mechanical room as well, then put the tank in wall behind the bar so the fish room can go in the mechanical room. Fish rooms that eat up floor space will kill your resale.

Can't move any further because they design it so that the furnace is right behind the sink and toilet. Can't move any further back :-(. Maybe you don't mind draw me some pict of your idea. I can't figure it out sorry

Here is the furnace in place
