I'm kinda working every concept on my new tank and have a some thoughts on a system design and need feedback. The tank will be placed on a wall that backs to my garage. I'm thinking about running all the plumbing thru the wall and into the garage. I was just at HomeDepot and saw those inground Koi pond liners and thought that I could use the kidney shaped one (300g), build a stand up off the ground, and run this as my fuge. mount a couple of MH and load it up with LR. I kinda like the idea of keeping everything in the garage it would make testing and etc much easier. Plus I could have a HUGE, rather flat, almost like a tide pool to play with............................................. Another Idea i'm working on is to have a seperate aquarium that is not connected to the main system that I could use to hold my water change, I could mark the water level on the take so that when I fill it with the RO water for the exact same volume everythime, use a gram scale to measure out salt and have a very consistent SG water change available for when I need to do the water change, then I could pump the exact amount of water out of the tank and then just pump the exact same amount slowly back into the tank. I would have a few powerheads to move the water around for mixing and it the top would have a cover I have a floor drain and it would be rather simple to set up a plumbing system with valves to pump water into and out of the tank.......My main question is when we come home will the exhaust from out parked cars create a problem? Would I be better off sealing this system off with walls and doors and exhaust fans?....
