180 build

[e46er]

well Ive set up a new 180 thats not a full peninsula but still visible from 3 sides
most of the equipment will be the same as my 250DD was
open concept
I had black sand in my 250 and really liked it so this tank will also have black sand.
I switched from IO to aquaforest salt before the 250 blew out and was happy with it so this tank will also run aquaforest
full syphon drain
full SPS
apex controller
apex auto feeder
evergrow LED 1-48" 1-16" both controllable
dosing pumps and ATO
vertex skimmer
vectra M1 return
carbon and phos reactors
Ive picked up a couple MP40 WQD today. hopefully 2 do but if not ill get either a gyre or another MP40 for the other side thats not super intrusive
WC will be pumps on switched outlets so its just basically light switches.
stand was built by my neighbor at shop in exchange for some minor gas work and cost of the high gloss.

it will be high gloss white with 4 lower doors, and both sides of the canopy will have 40-48"piano hingles for easy access.
the stand is tight to the wall and the tank is 8" off the wall for plumbing and electrical. this will also have a door for access and this will be where I have the WC pump switches.
the stand was ripped and planned down so everything is perfectly square and stained/sealed.
plywood base was siliconed so any water spillage I can clean up right away and wont get underneath and wreck my flooring.
