I’m in the process of designing a new system, which will include sump, fuge and all other equipment being in the basement under the display.

i would love to see some shots of other peoples filter rooms, and see if how it is all set up. Lessons learnt and recommendations would be great too.

Some of the things i'm wondering about is:
- external or submersed pump
- at such a high return height, do i need a really over powered pump?
- due to the hieght from the display, is there potentially even more noise produced from the display overflow
- to save space, is a water barrel better over a glass sump.
- should i still have a sump under the display tank in case, or does that add no value. is there anything that should have under the display (considering i have to walk outside everytime i need to go down into the basement).
- should i aim for several small tanks for marco fuge, lr fuge, propogation tank, or is one large tank ok for these.
