Starting a thread journal of my 25 gallon WaterBox tank.
A quick background: have been in the hobby for 20 years with a 6 year break without a tank. Had close to 15 different tanks in that time frame. So I'm excited to dive back in.

Started pulling out some old equipment from a previous tank.

All my stands have been custom for the tanks, so I started out with a simple design.

Bought a few new items while thinking through my stand layout.

Decided to make some dosing containers to match my tubing.

Making some templates for the controller section and then cutting out acrylic. Waiting to do the other side when I get my powerhead in.

And as of now, this is where I'm with the stand. Still a lot to do (under cabinet lights, raceway to hide the cords, top off tank, and some other organizing stuff)

How did you paint the water bottle lids? Your setup looks sharp so far!

Thanks…….I just sprayed them with primer and then with the color. You have to do multiple thin coats so it doesn’t run on you.
