Hello all I have been in the hobby for about a year now and like all I got hooked fast especially once I got through some tough times and saw progress starting to be made.
Right now I am in the planning stages for custom aquarium which will be acrylic made by acrylic habitats dimensions of 96”x30”x30”. It might change to 96”x36”x30 but not sure yet based on placement. Wife and I will start this build in a year or maybe sooner. We are still trying to decide if It will be a in wall tank and making one of the rooms off the tank a fish room or just a display tank in the family room with space pending, that’s the reason for the two different size tanks. Right now I am slowly gathering all the supplies that will be needed, and definitely waiting for Black Friday to purchase the bulk of the equipment hoping for some good deals. Tank will start as a Fowlr then slowly add corals liking to do mixed reef after a 8 months or so. I want tangs and wrasses wife wants a couple Angelfish so I know we have to be cautious. We also will probably do half the tank with sand and the other bare bottom to allow some encrusting corals to grow out
I live in central Florida and it gets hot. One of the key features and why I would like a fish room is to be able to have a mixing station.
For those of you in Florida if I do not do a fish room will a mixing station be ok in a garage with feeder lines for ato and water changes through tubing or pex pipe through the attic to the display tank?
I’m concerned with the heat in Florida with the garage sometimes reaching in the high 90’s
Another question is we run central AC all year would I have to make any changes to the bedroom that would convert to a fish room due to moisture or salt?
