Wet-room, Sump-room or fish-room???

Hop · 04/21/2008, 05:53 PM

What should rooms built for the purpose of holding filtration equipment be called? I've used wet-room for years; but others use sump-room or fish-room. Should this term be standardized now or does it really even matter... Does anyone really even care?

And if you post in the poll and have a wet/sump/fish room... Post some pics

Very cool USC-fan!

I think I may have to start using a new term though... Even if there are no fish in my fish-room

Well, in my fish room I have two sumps for two tanks, a QT tank, storage of supplies, etc, etc. It is, indeed, a separate room because it can be closed off for noise reduction.

My wife calls it "that room filled with your fish crap." I call it the living room.
