Help with “fish room” and how small is yours??

[j000]

So I’m currently in the build list process of a 96Lx36Wx30H acrylic display tank or 120x36x30. I will most likely go with the 96 so I can buy local. The DT will be going on the main floor of the house, no basement, no crawl space, house built in 08, and wide tile flooring. The tank would be going up against a wall in my spare living room that has a 159in length.

Behind the wall there’s a bathroom to the left corner and two storage closets in the middle measuring each about 41” in length/20.5” depth/ and over 9ft tall. I could potentially have them made into one larger closet but would this still be large to use as a water storage and mixing station? I could connect a RODI unit in the bathroom and run it to the closet since they are next to each other and I could run any ATO or water change lines since the closet and living room share the same back walls

Wow that’s awesome!!

I feel like everything I see on YouTube for my desired tank size usually has huge fish rooms. Hopefully I can make my space work for me like you did

It's a work in progress for sure, lol. Just make it work to fit your needs.
My AWC system is in one of the blue cans and the waste dumps outside.

Here’s a pic of my half bath. The Closets are to the left side of the sink

I appreciate the encouragement, everything just seems harder when it’s your first time doing it lol.

It’d be perfect for me if I could fit a mixing station, and run everything for, ATO, AWC, dosing unit & controller

Do you think the tanks I linked should be fine for mixing and AWC? The room currently only has 20.5-21” depth so I could set up a few of these sideways.

Fish Room.. That would be nice. I'd have to buy a bigger house. I only just got back into fish keeping when I bought my current house. But in the past 18 months since we've moved in there's been the addition of 6 tanks all in my living room. Smallest is a BioCube 32, biggest is my most recent Waterbox Reef 180.5

I'm just happy the wife puts up with it.

Those two tanks for your mixing station closet look great - I got my mixing station tanks from the same place : ) What you can do is plumb them together in such a way so you can isolate them normally, but connect them and use both for mixing if you ever need it - for an emergency 160g water change. Then I use the freshwater one for auto top off - and you'll need something that big if you are ever thinking of going on a 2+ week vacation and don't want to rick leaving your RODI unit on.
