You got that right! I don't have a shop so I've done most of the work in the middle of our apartment living room. At least I'm able to do the painting at work. Glad my wife is understanding!!!

I looks really good. Super clean job. Have you thought of maybe putting a small trim around the top and bottom? It would maybe tie the door in a little. So it's not just sitting there. Just an idea before you get it all together.

Thanks Serkel ...I'm going for a really clean look. There is some trim at the top I will add around the tank. If it seems to plain I can always add some trim later. I don't think it will be too hard. I guess I want to see how it looks first. I am thinking about putting a false door on the other side just to balance it out

Got the paint done today. I'll bring it back home tomorrow and finally be able to put it together!

A little mockup / dry run to see how things are looking. I will have a controller(not sure which one yet) , 2 part doser, refugium, 2 mp10's and ATO before it's all said and done with. No w that the stand is about done I can get back to doing some OT at work to pay for it LOL!!!

Looks great nice and clean
Looking close to what I wanted.
I still have to add the trim at the top to close out the space between the tank and the stand. I made the stand a bit larger to make sure I had some space around the sump since cubes are so tight
