Well, with such a huge tank coming soon, I've had to seriously think things through. The way I see it, I have two realistic options. On one hand, I could put the 180g in my upstairs living room and be done with it, and ultimately, limiting anything else related to the hobby. I'm kind of trying to avoid putting it in my living room because a huge tank will take up a lot of space. Honestly, I think such a huge tank will look awkward in my living room. Now, here lies my dilemma. I've got a nice sized basement that has a TON of potential, but is a mess right now. There is sooooo much CRAP down there that it is going to take some time to clean up. However, with a little time and effort, I could convert it into an office/fish room/chill spot for me and my friends. It's got a bar, a bathroom, and some wide open spaces-perfect. However, another hurdle-there is no heat down there. In the winter, it gets cold. I'm probably going to need to load up on heaters right? I can't recall exactly how cold, but I would imagine around the 50* mark. A problem? Anyway, below I've got some pics so you guys can visualize this with me.
the view from the stairs. You can really see the mess here. The plan with this area is to move everything and put a computer desk right in the middle.
The safe and bear are going to be moved and a 180g is going here. Pretty self explanitory.
There is a bar under there, trust me. I want to clean that **** up and squeeze a 75g/90g planted discus tank with a DIY stand with room for some smaller tanks underneath.
I'm thinking of ditching the doors, cleaning up the shelves, and throw another TV in there. The shelves do tempt me though. If I do get discus and they start breeding, I could line up a bunch of 20g's in there.
What do you guys think? So my fish room only consists of a few tanks, but that's fine with me. Does this look feasible? I'm going to get measurements tomorrow and start playing around with designs.
