Bought a house. Time for a crazy reef tank
After 25 years of living with my parents and saving my money I've finally bought my own house. Construction hasn't even begun so I have 7-8 months to plan an ultimate reef tank.
My Initial idea was to do a U shaped tank. Suggestions and ideas are welcome

If it is going to be a basement tank, I would choose a L shaped tank since that gives a small tank room behind the tank itself.
 And congrates

Just some things to consider
Will it be viewable from both sides? How big are you looking for your tank? Adequate ventilation for heat and moisture and storage space? If house is 2 floors will display be up and plumbing be down? How much room for cleaning and moving stuff around? Future room considerations IE. remodelling, purpose built, resale value? Just some ideas
