Closet Tanks

Coastie Reefer · Nov 17, 2016

Considering the wife doesn't want a tank in the main living area of the house I've had to settle with a small tank in what we call the "boys room", a spare bedroom just for me and the dogs to get away. Since the bedroom has a small walk-in closet, roughly 5' x 6', I've setup an SPS frag tank in the closet. It's a literal take on a "Man Cave". Anyone else have closet setups?

Ive been thinking about putting my QT tank in my closet. I have my cloths in there so I might have to figure out where to put them, lol

Had a 180 in a closet of a secondary bedroom once. But it shared a wall with the living room and was an in wall tank. Just removed the double doors on the closet and had plenty of room and air movement.
Most closet don't have air vents so think about that....could get stuffy in there.

Only a 20 gallon with a 5 gallon ATO container. I evap about a gallon every 8-9 days so no issues so far. Closet door stay open most of the time and we have a ceiling fan that runs 24/7 too, so that definitely helps.
