I would just like to give a quick shout out to Denny and Dave @ Concept for first off all building me a awesome custom aquarium and sump and for secondly dealing with some concerns/questions I had today regarding my tank in a very professional, friendly, and adult manner.

I really appreciate the extra effort that they have put forward in trying to resolve any issues or concerns that I had.

So go check out the first page of this thread and see what an awesome custom tank looks like.

Its perfect man. I love the dimensions, the side overflow, the aquascape is exactly what I wish I had done. I got too caught up in trying to stuff as much rock as I could in, not.going for a simpler scape. Make sure to post some pics when it's wet!

Wow thank you for the great compliment! I will be sure to post more pics as it progresses.

I am about to start a cabinet that will be beside the stand that will house on one half all my electronics and on the other half house my ATO resevoir, reactors, and future dosing pump and Alk, Cal, and Mag containers. These will be seperate compartments so there will be no chance of any electrical getting wet.

As I get further along in the process I will start an actual build thread

Well the time has come and the tank is now slowly filling. Its very exciting yet somewhat nerve racking, waiting to see how my plumbing skills and bulkheads stand up to the much anticipated leak test.

Given that all my plumbing passes, I will start the process of cycling. During the long wait for the cycle to complete I plan on working on my "secondary" or "satellite" cabinet that will be beside the tank and house on one half, my ATO resevoir and reactors, and on the other half (seperated of course) will be all of my electronics organized and easily accessed.

So my question is has anyone here built something like this and if so please share any tips or ideas or things you had learned and possibly would redo in a different way given the opportunity. As always everyone loves pictures so please feel free to post any photos you may have.

haven't done one beside, but I mounted one to the wall above and hung my light fixture from it. It houses my doser, 3 jugs of supplements, and all my led drivers. I used wiremould from it to behind the tank and it looks clean with all the wires and airline tubing inside it. I don't see why one beside wouldn't work if you have the space for it
