BubbleHead February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 I have finally got all the parts together and have started putting everything together. Today I plumbed the sump and installed the dosers. Since the stand is totally enclosed I am not to sure about putting power strips and especially the controller inside the cabinet, thoughts? As I move along with finishing the build, I will post pics. Idea's are always welcome. Live Rock has been curing for awhile and atleast half the water will come from a FOWLR, I am taking down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 I like the hole in the side...I would put a small cabinet right next to the stand where you can run all the cords and have your controller and power strips away from the humidity and salt water and creap....

zygote2k February 22, 2013 Share February 22, 2013 There's a guy on WAMAS- Chad aka Sikryd that lives in Pasadena. Look him up and ask him for some advice. He used to have some amazing corals a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flooddc February 23, 2013 Share February 23, 2013 Looks good! That sump is tight! Also, make sure you put a clam on the that return hose. It's could slipped out over time and _____! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a cabinet next to it now, with all the dry goods, I hadn't thought about putting the controller in there but that's a good idea. What's also great about the stand is there are doors on 3 sides. The pic is actually through the right side door. I'm going to place a shelf there for A/B bottles and then I'll still have room underneath for anything else. The cabinet will be pack but with easy access to everything, Looks good!

I need to stop by HD or Lowes this weekend and pick up some plastic clamps, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BubbleHead February 27, 2013 Author Share February 27, 2013 I switch over the water and rock from the hexigon. I'm just running off the fluval until I get enough water made and everything connected. Fish are loving all the space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainRon March 6, 2013 Share March 6, 2013 Good deal on the sand. I'm going to have to try that on mine next time I put a pump in the sump. Tank looks awsome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
