Since I'll have some plumbing going to the basement I'm thinking about putting a drain in the base in case something ever leaks big time but I've never seen that done.
i used the same LEDs in my stand as well..... all was good until about the 7month mark then they started to peel and droop do to humidity and moisture, so keep an eye on it..
Yeah. I had thought about keeping it. But i knew it would be quite a while before i could start a tank up again. I literally moved half way around the world.
Open design stand.
I planned on making a sump or larger canisters toward the side of the tank in the closet hidden in a gutted dresser or work table (easy access sump).
Build:
2 glued 3/4 inch top boards covered with hardwood sides.
2x4 wood stand with screw-on shims added for a bowed/ uneven floor.
Rear flat black painted light mounts with female nuts embedded on the top intended for a Kessil light arm to thread in without using their factory tank mounts.
I like how the carpet shows and the future sump would be out of the way someday, but's it's regular equipment for now.
I went to the local home outlet store and picked up a bathroom vanity. Took some modification but it works really well with my sr-80 tank. The first photo shows how it was for my Nuvo 30l. Then how i modified to fit the new tank.
