You're leaving it pretty open. I think you need more specific questions, or at least provide more information. Size? What do you want in the basement? What's there now? Etc, etc, etc

Ok! Here goes. Raw basement. Nothing done. Bear bones. Size have not measured yet. I would like to keep it open concept with a big tank or tanks. Even a easy program would help. then I can play with layouts floor plans. The basement is kind of a odd shape.

Sometimes drawing it out on a piece of graph paper is a good way to start. No need for new software that you need to learn to use and may only use once or twice. Fire up the printer, there are more than likely some templates out there that will allow you to print the graph paper yourself with squares of whatever dimension is convenient, whether mm, cm or inch. Then you can apply the desired scale, say one square = 1 foot and sketch away. If you need something larger than the standard 8 1/2 by 11 sheet, simply tape a few together.

That's it? Just tanks? No TV room or man cave? What kind of tanks? Any atypical requirements?
