Seeking ideas for Nuvo 10 stand

oneilwiz · May 9, 2018

Hello everyone,

I am finding it hard to find a stand or piece of furniture that could hold the Nuvo 10 tank. The stand has to be white. I have look at other reefers builds but not much is mentioned about the stand. Any idea reefers?

Had this concern when I was looking for a stand for an IM 20. You'll need something that can hold 100 lbs. You can try a kitchen cabinet, or bathroom cabinet that you have buy at lowes or home depot, or try this stainless steel option if you do not want to spend the money on IM stands. I got my stand at a second hand store.

Whatever stand you find/build, make sure there is room below for a sump. Whether or not you think you will or won’t you may want the option.

There is amazing wood paint. So you can buy a brown stand and paint it white. Color can be changed for less than 15 bucks.

Don’t be afraid to drill right into the top of it. It is just a piece of wood. You can save yourself headaches with water spills, kinked hoses, leaks and cleaning issues by simple drilling a hole straight down from your overflow into the top of the stand and right into your sump directly inderneath. Less is more. (Pictured) so when choosing a stand, plan according for a sump.

Just look at garage sales until you find something workable.
