I need some suggestions for my new stand

[William Chiavetta]

I'm building a stand for a 120 gallon and I have a slot for a bin to keep all my misc. in I have a shelf for test kit, books, and articles, I have a slot for my filter, I have a slot for my ato system, and I have a slot for decor. Am I missing anything or does anyone more experienced have any recommendation for a diy stand?

Have you allocated space for expansion filtration?

See posts all the time about adding

Rollermat
UV Filter
Extra mechanical filters
Calcium reactor
Automatic testers
Wiring center

Keep it simple. Floor for the sump and ATO. Make sure you have enough height for the skimmer to get in and out. Get something else to hold everything else. As you grow in the hobby you will have room to add new gear . You want your sump big enough to house all of your filtration and heaters

This is very helpful because I was planning to leave no room for expansion. Thank you!
