Would have saved a lot of time and money if I just bit the bullet and did the big build right away.

No kidding, I wanted a tank room really badly with this one but we knew we would sell this house sooner than later so I was given a hard no. Not having a dedicated fish room was one of the reasons why I was so lax on QT at first, as there was no where in the house that I could really co-opt for a QT system. Months of frustration dealing with ich later, and I've taken over half the laundry room. I won't run a tank without a QT system again. In a future version I want a room with a full, proper QT set up on one wall (two small tanks for the tank transfer method, drilled so they can be drained with a valve, and one larger, cycled bare bottom tank for de-worming); R/O and fresh salt mix containers, plumbed with pumps and hosing so that water changes on the QT and display tanks can be done with the flip of a switch; the sump and all it's equipment; and working space with an industrial sink.
