At last, the stand arrived!

Here you can see doors higher than tank bottom, so the sand will be covered with it.

Still waiting for silicone glue to harden...
We cleaned Balling dosier pumps and prepaired MG, KH & Ca..
We are still waiting for sump tanks.

I'm also working on automatic water changer with tanks for it.
For me, electronic part with software is easier then making custom tanks

A little chaos

Dosing pumps

Some progress...
We still need 1/3 of the water, but aquascape is mostly done.
