I second the location Liquidnoise mentioned, you can easily provision an aircon compressor for chilling purposes in your aircon ledge or service yard, considering the ease of pipes laying.

plan well, less headaches

second the 2050 location.


Can have a drainpipe (fitted with valve) from the tank to the toilet. Just need to turn the valve and water will be discharged. No more messy flexible tube when doing WC.

Compressor , topup tank can put in the kitchen.

near to toilet, easy to clean/wash or whatever.

you can drill a hole to toilet for your top-up or drain... also you can put some equipments in the toilet or kitchen

The 2050 wall next to WC2 is solid black in the floorplan.. means its a main pillar so no drilling is allowed

Thanks all for the input. Im considering 2050 as well. But my main concern if my fish tank is there im not sure if my dinning table can be place beside the small space beside the household shelter. :blush:

I might heck down the kitchen wall as well.

I beg to differ.

I place my tank to the right of my door.

No issues at all.

You should consider the overall design and ergonomics aspects as a whole so that the tank proves to be not only a eye candy but also an area that allows you to do access or maintanence with ease.

Of course, it applies to me cos FS is something that is zero as it is not in line with my faith.

So end of the day, it's up to you but it works fantastic for me ya.

All the best, your floor plan shows a very good layout out.

No odd corners.

2050 area looks good to me too but I will also consider the area 90 degree clockwise to 2050 as i do not enjoy it when the side of the tank forms part of the entrance way to the rooms.

Just my personal preference.

Enjoy your planning ... fantastic home layout.

I will recommend the 2050 like what everyone recommends as it is the most convenient place, especially for tank maintenance. That area will also not have unwanted sunlight lighting up your tank. If the dining table have to be place at the 2050 area, then I will recommend placing against the wall of 1800, beside the bomb shelter. This will allow you to view your fishes when you are watching tv and when your guests are seated at your sofa. Make it flush with the wall and it will look nice!

Tank: 3.5ft x 2ft x 1.5ft, 12mm

Sump: 3ft

Skimmer: Bubble Magus Curve 7

Lightings: Maxspect 15000k

Return Pump: Eheim 1252

Wavemaker: Jebao WP25, Jebao RW-8
