Putting a lot of tanks into a "normal" room in the house produces a huge amount of humidity so you will have to plan on a way to deal with that. Houses were not built to have that much moisture in the air so damage and mold can be a very real problem. Also water spilled on the floor can be a problem. If you have carpet in that room take it out now and put down something more water friendly. If you have wood under what ever you have on the floor it can also be damaged. If your lucky you have a cement underfloor. You might want to buy a wet/dry vac if you don't already have one to deal with the tank overflows,spilled buckets,etc. They will happen !!! I know all this from my own fishroom over the years. I finally bought a house and built my own fishroom in the basement w/ hot & cold running water and a floor drain. Good luck on your new business.
