Show me Your Fancy STANDS!!!

[postie1686]

Postie, The electronics looks pretty clean, nice job!

One day I'll take a photo of the back when it's done. Pretty much all of the equipment I'm usinng is either 12 or 24 volt. So I got rid of all the little power packs and made one 24v power supply to run all of it. With a 12v step down for a couple items.

I'm not quiet finished setting it up yet, but I made my stand out of 6" marine grade aluminum channel. It's wrapped with oak panel that can be completely removed for easy access and maintenance. It's topped with a white granite counter top and a custom made rock wall background.

It has dry goods storage in the leg on one end and electronics panel on the other.

Such beautiful work... so much eye candy in this thread.

Q: many of these tanks are open to with lights suspended from the ceiling or brackets. Do you evaporate a lot of water with that configuration?

Welded steel stand, powder coated gloss black. Top sealed, and decoratively painted with coral scenes (KatyGillieMurals), surrounded with red oak, and flooded with 1/4" layer of pour on bar top epoxy. Shelves front and back. One rear shelf contains fish food, the rest are full of liquor bottles and glassware.

Thanks. It was a heck of a project, about 8 months from start to finish... if you can ever call a reef system 'finished' I've enjoyed it, and hope to continue enjoying it for many years.

I do have a sump... I converted a closet that is on the other side of the wall into an equipment room. A 55g tank converted to a sump, water change station, ATO system, dosing system, reactor, and an Apex to run it all.

The sump closet was intended mainly to keep thing easily serviceable and accessible. The main goal being to never again need to get down on my hands and knees to work on my aquarium. I've achieved my goals, but attractive was never one of them
