130 X 36 x 36 inbound...any suggestions?

Ted. Tge two fish equip rooms are 25x14 each. With chillers outside. I dont get how anyone has space for this. As for me we were building an extention for this but now have to dig to a sub basement level dn 10 feet to get the other room. The pumps are too big to even change if need be so width is a big deal.
 
Even if tank is size of a 20 to 40k gallon pool ,the one thing i realize now is the equip is way bigger than your pool equip. The sumps for one thing take up huge real estate esp if you do a sump with third of volume. The skimmers are 6 to 8 ft tall and very thick. Like 4 to 6 ft diameter. Space for pumps and oump changes on dolly. Water change vats totaling a third of volume and industrial size ro di machines. All in all leave this for the aquariums. Hope im not in over my head esp with time..

Yeah, it is so scary to contemplate the work that it is easy to sit back and watch you do it, lol...

Click to expand...

my regal is no longer a baby, I got her last Feb/March...
I did not get one from this batch just pointing some people in the right direction...
I did get some pics of the Joc pair in the dt yesterday and a few of the regal, will post later...
 
I got some pics of the joc pair and regal yesterday, which is almost impossible...the regal is by far the most reclusive fish in the tank...and the jocs are rarely in the same place when I have my camera...I was lucky to have the camera on me but didn't have a great lens...most of these are lame...the female interrupta is seen hanging with the jocs...
regal is around 2.5 inches...goldflake 3.5 inches...jocs 1.5 or so...
the regal playing peek-a-boo...







 
one of the Joc's in Karen's killer breeding project, little "Connie," is the sister fish to these 2 Jocs...
I thought Connie was the prettiest one of the 4, and lol, she had a wonderful and wicked personality...
Connie always had a "plan" and it was wonderful and hilarious to watch her carry them out...a great lil fish...
