Very cool. Are you going to skin the tank with wood or leave it open.

I'm gonna have cabinet door made that attach to those tabs so that I have no metal rusting away on there.

Mine is very similar, still gotta figure out what I'm going to skin it with though.

I really like the tray you did on the bottom, very smart. I just did a flat sheet of polypropylene, hope I don't regret that.

Here are some pics of the stand for our new 30g tank. The granite bar top was a remnant which helped make it more affordable. It is hard to see in the pics, but there is a door on each side as well.

Nice setup, top container for ro. Then bottom one is saltwater? How do you get the top one to the bottom? Just looking for Ideas for my setup.

Thanks

Thanks Adam, actually other way around. There is a 1" bulkhead dead center in the top bucket with a ballvalve on it to drain from the top to the bottom if I have too, otherwise I just move the output from the RO.

I had to go bottom for fresh to avoid siphon issues from the ATO, and I didn't want to heat the bottom bucket sitting on the cold concrete floor.
