Well let's see - where to start? A fellow buddy and salt creep really wanted to get rid of his crushed coral base and replace it with a DSB. His wife had always worried about the old used stand the system was sitting on. So I mentioned if the sand bed was going to get changed the tank would have to be emptied anyway so what did he want for a stand? Next thing I knew we were chatting about what he needed. We started developing a plan and finally said let's stop designing for the tank and start thinking about the sump, refugium, cannister filtration, lighting, etc. So we decided to go with a 29 gallon sump, a 10 gallon refugium, under a 75 gallon tank, with a light fixture to support two 400 watt MH's with reflector and remote ballast, sliding doors in hood for simple access and easy removal, a side stand that would hold the cannister filter, ballast, and two 2.5 gallon dripping jugs for his automated drip system. The whole would be framed in wood with the lower sections wrapped in vinyl wayne's coating, while the top have would be skinned in 1/4" plywood (changed to melomene board), and then once built all be painted white. The white would fit the family decor and the wayne's coating around base would go with plan for room where system sits.
Here's the first pic's -
Work area set up for chop saw, table saw, drum sander, plywood cutting, & tool stations (all inside my door spraybooth so we could use space heaters to heat it more than shop - -5 to -15 each day outside BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)
