Photos

Bought the JBJ Stand from MarineDeport and repainted it from black to white. Fit the IM25 tank perfectly.

Not very good with wire management, but was happy with how I did. Since this photo I have added
a WXM module, breakout box, and use this section to hold my skimmer waste container.

Not needed yet, but when I do need to dose, I will be ready with BRS 2-part.

Most current photo of the tank (1/5/2018). Don't mind the mess. Just put on my new light and hadn't cleaned up.

Love the rock layout, for a small tank you really maximized swimming room.
