Hey guys, its been awhile. Finally moving forward with our dream home construction this week! House blueprints have been through the runner and the fishroom has changed in design several times. Now that the location and size has been set in stone finally, I can ask for advice and planning out the tank layout and filtration system. This is going to be mainly setup as a breeding show room where i can have the walls lined with tanks with species only tanks and have a seating area in the middle to look at them all. Also plan on setting up wifi cameras on the large 300g, one for the room facing the main tanks and Tegu cage so i can remotely see them all while im away. Filtration im looking for some sort of automatic water changing system or whatever is needed to keep the water crystal clear and have the most self automated fish room I can have so i can enjoy it to the fullest without having to do constant maintenance. Room is around 23x15
Now for the tanks: first is the monster 300g tank from custom aquariums that will be "inwall" and viewable from inside the fishroom and outside in the basement hallway. This will be an all male show fish tank with sandy bottom and piled rocks in areas to simulate the lake bottom and allow as much open water habitat as possible. The sump system thats coming with it will allow me to overstock it so theres less aggression and with a tank this size, aggression shouldnt really be an issue.
40g breeders on double wooden rack system along the back wall. 12 tanks total here if possible.
A quad of 75g tanks on double wood racks along the left side of the room.
Finishing it off would be a rack of 10's/20's on the right side possibly with another rack of duo 40's. This would be for fry/hospital area. Some of these tanks will NOT be on the filtration system because I would be using medication on them.

Please lemme know if you have any suggestions. Would love some imput on the filtration planning as the only thing *** really seen done is the drilled tanks/water drip system. Is this the most efficient way?
