plus you still have access for when you get serious!

omg I dunno what I'd do with such convenient space to my tank.

My goal is make a much larger L shaped tank that goes back into that utility room through the wall.

I’d be tempted to plumb my ATO reservoir in there; and probably a frag/ holding tank. A water station. Dunno

You mean like this water station.

ATO for a refill, ATO to tank through wall. Circulator power head in top, add kalkwasser weekly.

Disconnect to fill hose to auto siphon for a drain on tank. Reconnect and turn on pump from bottom bin to refill.

Cables need managed on this side. But so much more manageable.

Quick cable management before I bring more through.

And we are done, minus some tidying of the cables with zip ties.

All but 3 would make it . Kept one small bar under the display fuge. Might eventually mount underneath off ground.

Thanks to @Projects with Sam those mounts for the rail system saved so much headache.

Feels amazing to be away from the before pictures included.
