good thing it is a tiled floor. Change the light fixture. I would be banging into it all the time.

Racks are great ways to have more tanks in less space. Tho tanks that sit really close to floor level are hard to keep clean cause u cant siphon down. If u need some help let me know! A three 55 rack would be cool

Congrats on the new home. Yep! that lights got to go. As for color I like white for the walls. maybe a sea foam green or blue... You do have 2 nice clean walls. Nice for big tanks or racks. Are you planning to cover the windows?

Thank you i plan on most likely going white or maybe a slightly off white. As for tank size right now i have a 125, 20h, and a 40b.... Thinking about what all i want to have right now kinda want something like a 90 to seperate my trophs and petros but other than that no idea so many wants

How long is your longest wall? I would make my tank 2ft less than length of the wall and have a foot on each side of free space. Center it.

Re: New fish room

Stack 125 on top of 180. As many times as you can

Ive actually considered stacking 125's but i think that may be to tall
