I'm seriously considering an upgrade from a 75 to something much bigger. Let's say 300-500 gal. mixed reef with refugium sump. I have up to 7 ft long, 7 ft tall (wall height), and up to 29" deep to work with (more if I remove my door frame to the room). The room is in the basement so weight is not an issue. I have sufficient electrical. My only constraint is that I don't have space for a fish room, so I want to run everything under the tank in the stand. Water station is in the room adjacent. I currently use a brute can to make water and schlep it back and forth. I don't mind doing this, but bigger tank means bigger water changes. I could possibly build water storage in my laundry area or outside so I could have more water on hand.
My current tank is a 75 with a fuge and everything I need is inside the stand. I run 2 part, a skimmer and an ATO. I'd like to keep this bigger setup simple as well. So, without remodeling my entire basement......how big do you think I can go?
