Room around tank.

[inked]

I have been thinking of upgrading to a larger tank but not sure I have enough room. I have a small apartment but found a wall that I think I can do a in wall 60 cube. The wall is 46 inches wide and the backside is a utility closet. I am going to try to add a few pictures. I know the more room the better but what would be the minimums?

i would think as long as you have room to work it would be fine
if its only a 60g. you have anolity to move it yourself to rearrange

Consider humidity and heat in the utility closet unless you have some way of venting.

It's more of a wet closet. No furnace or hot water heaters just plumbing. I tried posting some pictures but it timed out and lost the post lol.

I meant the heat and humidity from the tank. You might have to deal with mold, rusting, etc. You will also have to consider how to keep the tank sufficiently cool. You'd have to have a way to vent the heat out of the small room as well as the humidity from evaporation.

I didn't realize a 60 cube would generate that much heat. What's the biggest source of heat? I was going to be using my leds from my present tank which don't seem to generate much heat. I do have a dryer vent that's not being used in the room. I could hook a exhaust fan to that if I need too. The room was going to be a laundry room so it has power and water already there.

IMO, the biggest source of ambient heat would be the light but maybe that won't be a big factor in your size build. If you're using a chiller then depending on placement that could also factor in heat buildup.
