My Fish Room Worked on a drawing and this is what I have come up with so far. Will be 6-55g tanks stacked. Filtration will be based off this video Along with a single air pump for sponge filters in all the tanks. And because some 55g can't be drilled I will go with the following DIY overflow Lighting will be DIY based off this video

This is really nice layout and well thought out. The drawing really helps to visualize what it will look like when it all comes together.

So I was able to get a start on building the first section of 3 and this what I have done. I changed the design some and following a design of another hobbyist. Getting wood pieces put together Wall space I have to play with. There's still more room but couldn't get a full view Final assembly With tank up top Will get more up once I finish it up

Looking great and nothing could be more rewarding than building you own fish room from scratch.

You might want to think about adding some support underneath the load points just as a safety factor. All that weight will cause a lot of shear force on the nails.
