Looks awesome laid out like that. How are you gonna get the pieces into the tank? Man, I can't move a rock and then put it back the way it was 5 minutes later, they never fit together the same way!
 Just curious why you want to run UV, what's the goal behind that?

The goal behind the tank is to keep it clean, low nutrient, disease free, algae free, cyano free. I've had good luck with UV for many issues in the past & it's like a good insurance policy in my experience.

The stand is done. I used 1/2" MDF with primer & 3 coats of alkyd paint to seal it. It's a nice charcoal grey. The panels are held to the stand with four 1/2" rare earth magnets. There is a slot for the DJ panel to pop out so I don't have to remove the panel to turn on/off devices. I ditched the other DJ panel and will access those devices through the Aquatronica controller, which is also mounted on the outside of the stand. So I can control everything from the front of the stand.
I made the height of the panels 2 1/2" taller then the top of the steel so it will cover the 3/4" plywood, 3/4" styro and the bottom pane of the tank.

The grey sure gives it a cool industrial look to it.
Looks really good. Although I can tell right off the bat that you don't have small kids  Man those are some mighty tempting buttonnnnnnnns!!! And an LCD controller? Total finger magnet!

Go
That looks well-built and very tidy. I like that the controllers are visible. The magnet idea is awesome, too. Good job.
I can't help but think that it looks a bit like a server, or maybe a smaller version of ENIAC.  Once the tank is on there, though, it'll look wicked. ________ MAINE DISPENSARY Last edited by Flusher; 04-21-2011 at 03:14 PM.
