Well I'm getting ready to set up my 210gal soon and I decided to set up a little area in the basement to filter water (ro/di) and make saltwater that is somewhat organized, to make water changes easier. I have a room in the basement where the furnace and hot water heater are that had a free corner and utility sink already there when we bought the house. My wife bought me the Air-Water-Ice Typhoon III RO/DI unit for X-mas, so i hooked that up with float foat valve to one of 2 25gal acrylic tanks that I ordered and just came in this week. This tank will hold RO/DI water. Ball valve on the front of this tank is to get RO/DI water for a.t.o. unit for display tank. The water will be pumped by external pump over to tank on the right to make saltwater up, just waiting on flex pvc to connect pump to tanks and powerhead and heater for saltwater tank. figured while I was at it I'd hide the 2"x4" with some tile wallboard and throw some shelves up.
If I don't get called into work Sun. I;m gonna try to set up my 40gal quarentine tank.
Let me know what you think!

NICE!!!!! Impressive.
I would suggest modify your ball valve assembly they look like they stick out pretty far I know I'd wack my leg in it.Mabey put a 90 right off the tank going down then the valve it should shortin it up a bit

i actually had it like that and just changed it because it required me to raise the stand up and the tank would be in the way of the filter. it's not a huge room but theres a lot more room than the pics show.
thanks for the advice,Shawn
