Doors open.

A 33 gallon will sit in each cabinet on the right. Each tank will have an emergency drain plumbed to the basement. The top tank will have a float valve and hold freshwater. A valve will empty to the bottom mixing tank. To add the mixed water to the display the eheim will be on a switch.

On the left will sit the Profilux, dosing jugs, test kits etc. A small fridge I have kicking around is tucked beside the desk on the other wall for frozen food.



The pvc is the drain to the basement. The drain in the display tank stand also connects to this line in the wall. The flex hose will connect the eheim to the 20 gallon tank sitting under the display tank.



I ran 3 dedicated 15A circuits up to here. I need to mount receptacles in here somehow. I left the wall socket accessible as well. You can see one of the metal brackets here. What I did since the ikea stuff is half cardboard is I placed a 2x4 inside the other cabinets and attached the bracket to it through the shared cabinet walls. I re-enforced other areas like this as well as attached a horizontal 2x4 to the back of the stand (it mounts into the other 2x4 re-enforcements) and pinned this to the wall studs.
