I'll try to put together some pictures and better descriptions after I get the tank up and running. I hope to have all the controls, equipment and livestock transferred by the end of Monday but it's a busy weekend for us so it may take into mid week.

That cabinetry is unbelievable. Absolutely stunning. Almost as good as the set-ups! Whatever your doing Mike, don't change a thing. The coral color, placement and intermingling in the 50 are so good, they look photo shopped!
Best of luck with the new SU although I don't think you'll need any. Freakin unbelievable

You can put me on the list for the first set up. Name your price my friend

Yes, I used 12 gauge unistrut bolted to the back of the cabinet for support.

Mike what material did you use for the canopy around the ai fixtures? Is that wood? How much weight will those sliders hold?

Cody,
I used 18 gauge sheet metal as the supports (I'm a sheet metal worker by trade). If I remember correctly the drawer guides were rated at 200 pounds.

Any concerns for corrosions on the sliders? Nice upgrade I want to do the same later on

I suspect over the years I will eventually need to replace the sliders, but I would be surprised if I don't get at least 2-3 years out of them.
