My fish room is 7ft by 10ft and sometimes it still feels cramped. I am a messy person though and i do have to share the room with a freezer and my quarantine tank is 4ft long...

I am planning one and hope to start construction some time this year. I am thinking for the size to be about 14' x 10' so I have room for a few extra tanks and equipment and not feel too crowded.

i would make it a minimum 10x10. But for quick reference walk onto your laundry room and other bedrooms in your house to place your equipment with 1 sq ft pieces of paper to get a general idea of how much room you will have when its stocked with equipment. Don't forget to plumb in a laundry tub sink...... best thing you can have in a fish room.
