Let’s see inside those stands!

Mine is nothing special but here
Bag is just some fluval carbon hung from some airline. Controller is coralbox a100 autotopoff and if you noticed the mandarin he is in Refugium so i can fatten him up
 
My in stand sump space is pretty limited so I had to squeeze alot in. I have a 20g sump with a diablo 200 skimmer a manifold that feeds my 2 reactors, one which is for gfo(not on right now) one feeds my carbon/zeolite reactor, one to the chiller(next to my tank), one to my calcium reactor(in my basement) and one I use to acclimate fish and coral ..
It's a mess under there. I only wish I could have it as clean and tidy as come guys here. But it is functional even though it looks like a mad scientist project. Lol

This is the inside of my DIY 2x4 stand for my 57 gallon rimless tank. I used French cleats to hold the front door in place...

Inside is a Trigger Systems Sapphire 26 sump, a Deltec SCA 1351 skimmer, a Turbo’s Aquatics L2 Rev 4 ATS, a Neptune DOS, a Sicce ADV 5.5 return pump, Spectrapure ATO pressure tube sensors and a couple of Innovative Marine Mighty Jet DC pumps to run the ATS and the chiller.

Here is a shot with the ATS endplate off so you can see it better.

My Apex controller is housed in a remote cabinet to protect it from moisture intrusion.
 
My stand houses a 75 gallon sump with a lot of cheato, algae scrubber, simmer, dosing pump, return pump, gravity fed auto top off tank, and 13 gallon QT system. Everything sits inside of a shower pan liner that has saved my floors several times.

Still on the work bench, the back will hold the electrical panel and i intend to keep this one open with an industrial/lab look. It's a frag/display tank for my office, the idea is to show the guts and make it pretty, lol
