Progress on the stand

Quick post here.  Yesterday was a whirlwind, but my planning paid off and assembly of the new stand went relatively smoothly.



I got the stand assembled, leveling feet installed, and the side and back panels in place.  Inside, the shelves and controller mounting board are installed and about a third of the electrical wiring is run.  I am a bit nervous about how many cords I will be trying to cram behind the controller board, but otherwise things are working out pretty well.


The one hiccup is that my shelf ended up a bit lower than I would have liked and a 5 gallon bucket doesn't really fit underneath easily.  So it looks like I'll be hunting for a new ATO reservoir at some point as well.  Here it is in the light of day, with the tank on top.


I'm hoping to finish the wiring, place the rock and sand, and refill the tank on Monday evening with an eye to start the Red Sea Reef Mature cycling program on Tuesday.  Wish me luck!
