Stand is looking good.
Is the section on the left going to be a storage cabinet?

The left side will house my ATO and 12 gallon reservoir. The right will hold my auto doser and chems on the bottom and the top I may try incorporate a space for electricals. This is undecided.

The electrical depends on space and safety.

Both undetermined. But the left is solid.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

A picture is worth a thousand words...



I'm happy to say I measured well. It's perfect clearance and fit for my ATO.

The frame is complete. Not counting a little buffing and paint.



This is where the electrical panel will be attached...

Frame 100% done and now for paint. Primer is done.



Here is how I plan to attach panels. I drilled holes on the top frame and will use a peg/magnet system.

The top of the removable panel will have pegs to drop into the holes... The bottom will have "Rare Earth" magnets to hold it closed.

Can anyone help me out with some thoughts or opinions?

The new overflow box. Longer to accommodate my hands for cleaning.





Thanks Bob!

Ok after many delays this is where tonight ended.

Final "tear down"




Enter the new stand.



Guess what. I passes rock bottom. The rebuild is officially in the upward direction.

Now I'm excited.

I still never got this is in. But this photo shows you the overflow upgrade.



As you can see, the old box is almost impossible to access with the cross brace. The bigger box will allow access to remove algae or a fish if one gets in.
