I should have started a thread last month when I started my new stand and canopy. Here's the brief;

STAND:
The stand is 24" front to back and will have covers on the sides to hide wires and tubing. The underside of the stand is pre-drilled every 4" to accept hooks to tidy up the wiring in the stand.

CANOPY:
Yet to have a finalized draft, but I will be using LED tube lighting that recently became available at my LFS. It will have an easy access door that will allow viewing of a controller(probably an Aquacontroller Jr.) and access to easily feed my fish.

SUMP:
I will be buying a 30g breeder for a sump and it will separate the skimmer input and output into seperate chambers, have a refugium for pod production, and a self-contained 5g freshwater tank for ATO. Addition space allows for a 10 or 15g tank that could be used to premix SW and then pump it into the sump for water changes. OR maybe a sulfur denitrator.

SULFUR DENITRATOR: More research is needed, however, I've established that it will use a sulfur chamber, large agronite chamber, degassing chamber and I'm curious of using an inline Kalk chamber or injecting Kalkwasser into the effluent to maintain PH.

SEAHORSE REFUGIUM:
I will use a 6x6x12 lexan tank to sit on the side table between my LAZY CHAIR and 75G with dwarf seahorses. I would use a (2.5g?) as a sump and it would be located in my stand, and it would have an ice probe chiller in it at 74*. Then I want to put a SMALL powerhead or even a TOM aqualifter to draw water from my refugium and into the seahorse sump, the flow would be slow enough to keep the temp lower in the seahorse tank but just enough to keep the salinity consistant and consolidate my water changes into one.

I'll be moving the tank this thursday. Pics to come.

Sump design:


Stand Design: No trim is shown here, I should add that the entire side panels are removable to allow easy access to install the sump at a later date.



WOW.....Someone just robbed the bank accross the street from my apartment!

If they see you setting up your tank after the bank robbery they might get suspicious.
