I know. I need to do some serious cable management. Part of me wants to send it down into the basement.
I'd really love to flip it so it was on the back wall, but structurally this setup spreads the weight out right up against the foundation. There is still the 11 gallon directly in front of the chair.
I toyed with putting my desk right there. That would be a lot of light, I don't think I could work there getting a suntan! The electric load in this office is already pretty wild. I'm running two tanks, 4 heaters, 4 MP's, T5 and LED's, return pump, 1 monitor, 1 TV, 1 laptop, lights, 2 fans, and two mini fridges. Now add on everything needed for another tank that isn't hooked up yet. I either need to upgrade electric, or start combining sumps.
I've toyed around with combining them (this would help lessen the electric burden), and with dropping them into the basement. I'm sure my SO will not be thrilled at even the proposal of putting holes in the floor, and honestly, I get it.
I'm hesitant to put anything in the basement, as there is this constant impending question of when/if basement renovations are going to happen. Even if it's two years from now, I don't want to have to replumb and move things around. Ideally I'd drop into a rubbermaid sump for both, but I think that's a pipe dream for now.
