First picture is from the previous owner. I made a few adjustments; I'm planning on turning it into a shallow sps display tank.

Paint:
-white 123 primer
- black appliance epoxy
- black plastidip the bottom and top surfaces for grip
Wood:
-I added 3/4" plywood on the top and bottom for added support for the tanks.
- I plan to add doors to the front and sides.
Plumbing:
I changed the plumbing from pvc to braided pvc for the return and spa flex for the overflow.
The return pump is a jebao dc 2000
Sump is a 20g long. I did not use baffles for this sump. I did however try to modify it with a bucket where a bubble magus curve 5 skimmer will go. The middle is the refugium area. I sectioned off the return section with egg crate and Velcro. I placed a small section of acrylic on the bottom to prevent detritus being sucked up by the return pump. The return pump is elevated on egg crate.
