So it took almost 1 year to finish my basement. My contractor eventually bailed on me and I had to hire someone else to finish the project $$$$$$. I have now started to move my fish tanks and consolidate some stuff. I consider it a mini fish room not monster compared to others I've seen on here. Finished room will have 4 55's, 2 40 breeders, 46 bowfront, 150, and 210 or 220. I have most of these tanks or at least have orders placed on them. The 40's and 55's will all be doubled up with AC 110's, the 46 will have a Fluval 405, and the bigger tanks will be on sumps, 1 on either an auto-fill or drip system (once I can get it figured out). Here's a couple pics of what I have set up by last night not much, but it's getting there, a little busy because Chinese New Year is around the corner. I'll keep this updated as I progress.

Section for the 55's and 40's. So far in those tanks I have my ZZ pair, their fry, and a pair of Red Mammon with a bunch of Blood Parrots. My SA/CA tanks should be moved by tonight.

Where my 210 or 220 is gonna go. You can see what kind of plumbing I have to work with.

Actually my fish room is going to be great advertising for Aqueon. Just like my filters, I'm going to go with 1 brand. The top left is Aqueon Modular LED and bottom is Marineland. For night lights, the Marineland is bluer but I like how I can choose which bulbs I want in the Aqueon, I have 2 Day White and 1 Colormax on it.
 
Looks as if its going to look nice. Oh by the way I like the bar, easy access!

I like the bar...

Lol thanks on the bar, the pic of the plumbing is actually where my wet bar was going to go but there was a spacing issue. I told them to leave the plumbing for my fish tank, but it was too late to plumb abother section so its not a wet bar. It's ok, my bar may be missing a sink but its got Louis XIII and King George.
