Hello Guys!!
I am hoping y'all will be able to help me with some preliminary planning for an aquarium and fish room I am trying to plan. We are building a Preschool/Children's Wing at the church I work at. We currently have a 100 gallon aquarium that I have been maintaining for the last four years. I have been told they want a BIG one in the new building. We have had our first meeting with the architects. We don't have any drawings yet but I will need to let them know what type of special requirements the room and aquarium will need so that they will be able to include everything necessary for a large tank (and possibly another smaller aquarium in the same building but in another part of the building).
I am looking at a 600 Gallon display tank (96"L x 48"D X 30"H). Some of the things I'm thinking I will need for this room is: 1) A floor drain, 2) I'm assuming with a tank this size I will need some way to remove the humidity, and 3) Additional breakers.
I haven't figured everything out but there will be a sump, of course, as well as a couple quarantine tanks. I want to have a frag tank. I want to have tanks for RO/DI, mixing, and ATO.
Is there anything else I need to consider when planning the room itself besides electrical, humidity, and a floor drain? I'm sure I am missing some things and was hoping y'all would be able to help me out there.
Thank you so much for any help and let me know if you need more information from me to be able to answer.
