My buddy is building a fish room from scratch. He's building a new house and can do whatever he wants within $ limits. Anyway, here's what I told him so far and if anybody can come up with what I forgot, I'd appreciate it and so will he. He's building it into the wall so all the equipment will be hidden.
2 dedicated circuits. If one blows, he'll have the other to keep the tank alive
drain on the floor leading to a dry well for water changes
plumbing very near the tank with R/O
Metal Halides on pulleys
T5 actinics also on pulleys
Large sump/refugium w/asm skimmer (size to be determined according to the tank he buys or builds. He's a glass store owner)
Autotop off hooked to the R/O
Heater up and down
we'll figure out the overflow or drilled decision later
Enough room in the back to walk around, store junk, hang kalk.
Utility sink to clean skimmer, pumps, etc.
He'll have a backup generator for the whole house.
What did I forget?
Thanks,
Tom
