New Fish Room from Winterpeg with 250G
So new fish room coming soon and tank
it will be a ruff size of 9feet long by 7 feet wide (from green tape on floor) Tank will be 7 long x 30" x 24" (about 250 G) As you will see i'm having a floor drain and sink in the room There will be a door and i will be having waterproof flooring so any spills down the drain it goes There Display tank will be in the front and then it will have a side window to view the reason is you come down the stairs to tv area and don't want anyone to clip the side of the tank. Plus you get a nice side view as well This will be started in 3 weeks. any comments or idea's would be much appreciated . And tank needs to get ordered very soon 5 weeks to build.. pic coming Thanks

I don't think the wind chimes are going to work. They might be too loud and keep the tank inhabitants awake.

Looking good so far. What are the measurements? I mean the tank does not include those right?
What are you tying in the drain to? No possibility of back feeding sewage or grey water??

7 feet by 30 high by 24 wide 2. Room is 9 feet long x 7 feet from wall to front of tank 3. We are getting plumbers to do the drain it will go to our main discharge. There should be no issue as we have back flows that are required so no sewage backing up. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Ahh ok good. So the tank does not really protrude into the room, just a common wall. Lots of room in that fish room then.
Very cool.

You cant think of just square footage. Look up... Cubic footage. LOL
I thought that is what that blue square was. The curved part took me a minute then I realized it was a door.

RODI?

I'd make sure the door swings outward to leave more area to maneuver in the fish room. I'd also look at putting your sink beside the "stand for fish stuff". That would leave the bit of wall right beside the tank, where you have sink marked, open for reactors.
The vortechs stick off the back of the tank a couple inches don't forget. Nothing more annoying than bumping the dry side off due to tight spaces. Google a product called Panduit for cable management. Order the wide size as your cables will fill it up quickly! As for electrical, put 3x as many receptacles in as you think you need. Have some on GFCI receptacles and have some not protected by GFCI. You don't want pumps on GFCI. Heaters you do! Good luck!

It takes a bit more planning but a pocket door helps when space for door swing becomes an issue in tight re-model plans.

Where the slippers are
If so I would need to measure it and see if I can fit a 24 inch pocket door so that would be 48 inches I requir Just trying to to push anymore in to my main area. It's a good idea might see how it looks when all of my framing for outside walls are so done. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Or two smaller pocket doors. They can be attached so that opening one opens both at the same time and vice versa when closing (done with a connecting cable).

Bi-fold doors might work as well.
AFAIK, the L1s don't have CSA certification yet, so they can't be legally sold here until they get it.

Ok not sure if I can run the Ecotech MP40's as i will need to put them on the back of the tank and not the sides.. As one side will be able to look at it from the room and the other side will be agaist a wall..As these can't be swiveled at all.
So LFS said to go with the Maxspect Gyre XF250' 2 of them - I'm going with a overflow box this going to be the length of the tank so then the XF250 can fit in side of them and work there magic. Are they any pro's or cons to doing it this way. before I buy them Does anyone know if you an hook these up to the NEW APEX - with the ICECAP MOD
