Started building my little electrics cabinet. It's gonna look super clean!!! The only difficult thing will be mounting the doors :blink:

Slowly but surely I'm getting closer to getting this thing wet. Last night I did a leak test on the display and sump and they both passed omgomgomg

I've almost got my electrics cabinet finished.

 

I'm just waiting for a few twist cam locks from Cad Lights so I can finish securing my stand. Then I should be able to start cycling this bad boy fingerscrossed

That's cool. You made the mini-me of your stand!

 

I was having a hard time fitting all my stuff in my artisan also. I didnt really want a second stand so I got creative. Made everything fit and u wouldnt even know it was there! I had a little more room to work with though since it's the 70 gallon. That stand came out sick though!

Thanks! I'm really pleased with the way it came out! Yeah the 50 gal is a little tight on space for sure! I figured this mini cabinet would be a better bet. Plus it keeps the the humidity away from the electronics
