      looks good, but me personally, I wouldn't want the skimmer in the middle of the room. Yes, I know you want to show off your pride and joy...

                  If at first it doesn't fit get a bigger hammer - Beat to fit paint to match

                    What about a fridge for the beer...? And don't get one of those small girly ones either...I am talking about a full size fridge that can fit a kegger...

                      Sweet design!

                      Are the main tanks purely for display ... or something else?

                      What about a fridge for the beer...?
                      It seems to me that chillers should always have more than one use ... ...

                      ... the plumbing should be simple enough ...


                      Any Better Ideas?
                      What does the vertical layout look like?

                        Thanks I cant wait, been planning a LONG time, way too long to be honest. But I have always rushed to get things done in the past and wished I did something different, not this time . BTW I love your tank.

                        Gary You would think after IMAC you wouldnt have to ask this question lol. There is a full size one in there now, but its not going to fit after I add that large table, it may, but most likely its going to go in the room right next to it, aka my office It is full of beer now , I mean water, yeah water.

                        Bob I cant wait for you to come and see it, I have been to your place 3 times now and you have only been here once .. hehe.. You will be the first person I invite. I have Daddy/Daughter weekend, giving Kelly the weekend off so I cant work on anything, but next weekend its Daddy/fishroom weekend, Kelly is taking Claudia to her parents for a bday party for her friend .

                        The main tanks are for growing out frags/holding colonies and a VERY few Fish. I dont sell fish really, just corals and dry things.

                        No chiller on this badboy, I am praying with a bit over 500 gallons of water over a large surface I wont need any, I will have 3 x 400 on one tank, and 3 x 250 in the other tank.

                        What does vertical layout look like mean? It took me a while to figure out Visio, I am not sure what you mean vertical? Sorry if that is a dumb question, but I just know how to write code and repair computers, not run them lol.

                        I am taking a stab in the dark, but if you mean how tall are things, the room is 7 or 8 feet ceilings, in my basement that stays around 65/68 all year. The steel tank stands I had built are 30" tall. The sump will sit on the ground. The table is also going to be 6' x 2' x 30"ish. Is that what you mean?

                          ran out of room.. I have a computer controlled unit that controls humidity/heat/de-humidifier, it will control the 3 fans, each moves 434 CFM's. I will set the humidity will be around 40% so its not sticky/stinky, have to keep the wife HAPPY, last time when I got in 10 boxes at a time, it smelled so bad she would not be very happy, plus my daughters room is above the fish room, so I want to make sure she doesnt have to smell it either. I was not running this computer controlled system last time, but I will be this time. I am also installing a 9000 BTU Air Conditionar that is mobile. It will exhust outside where the 3 fans push the air too.

                            Yep ...

                            Sorry if that is a dumb question ...
                            Nope ... yours was the natural consequence of an incredibly badly phrased question ... my bad ... ... .

                            I was asking about available "vertical" space because I was thinking about surge tank/system placement, and the possiblity of refugia and/or "specialty"/dedicated species-habitat tanks which might be located above the two main tanks.

                              That looks like a great plan. Do you have water plumbed to this room,utility sink maybe? Keep us posted and have fun.
