After 1.5 years of trial and failure in many set-ups I've tried ( along with wasting mass amounts of money) I've finally gotten to a place I like in my reef keeping,as far as tank position and size goes..
I have two 120g tanks set up in my living room on two wall in a corner..I have a spare room next to the living room that I use as a sump/storage room for all stuff aquarium related..I use a 40g breeder as a sump that is shared by both systems.I also have a BRS RO/DI system set up in the basement that pumps water up to the sump room to a Brute can and a mixing tank(40 breeder)
One 120g has 48" T5 lighting for mostly LPS,zoas and sofies..The other 120g is for the most part all SPS tank with a 48" Hamilton Belize Sun lighting system that uses two t5 bulbs and two Phoenix 14000K 250w HQI bulbs on Hamilton M80 ballasts..
Other equipment I am using at this point(I am still upgrading as funds allow)
-- loads of Hydor Koralia power heads of all sizes in both tanks
-- each tank uses it's own mag 9.5 for a return
-- ACjr for PH and temp monitor
-- BRS dual reactor for carbon and GFO
-- finnex thermo-controller
-- two BRS 2 part dosing pumps( for two part)
-- Octopus NWB-200 skimmer (monster lol )
-- Aqua step-pro UV Sterilizer
Now for Pictures

RO/DI
