    Hey everyone, me and my friend designed and built this stand for the 375 gallon tank im working on at my friends house. Im gonna redo everything in the basement to make everything cleaner and neater and most importantly perform better. The rubbermaid is the new sump and the 65 gallon tank is the new refugium, and below the refugium will be the chiller, to the right of the refugium is where the reeflo orca 250 skimmer will be and below the skimmer and a portion of the refugium is an area for a collection bucket for the skimmer and just general usable space for media and such. We also put a 4.5 in fan in where the chiller is so it will kick on when the chiller kicks on to keep it cool, also but a 14"x14" air return vent on the back side to alow for more air flow. Chiller doesnt have metal shroud any longer and i wanted to enclose it so the fan wasnt "right there" for someone to get hurt on while still keeping good air flow.

    I got a 2x96 watt current pc lite for the refugium also, will be using a hammerhead as the return and a dart pump to feed the skimmer, refugium, uv, phosban and carbon reactors. Even got a spectra liter 3 for top off and auto water changes. :) My basement is filled with all that stuff plus sand and refugium mud, and plumbing pcs, im installing on sunday morning...ill be sure to take b4 and after pics.
