I had freshwater tank when I was a lot younger and like many people I've always wanted a saltwater aquarium. They have some of the best colors, and I like the science and learning aspect. As I plan my build out, which I don't even have a tank, etc. I am working on my mixing station.

Here I have started to build the frame for the brute trashcans to sit on. If anyone was curious, it was a Club #9 from Jersey Mikes :)

Ignore the mess, I'm working on cleaning up the garage as well. If you look behind the plywood, cut out like a poker table as I built one of those a few years ago, you can see the trash cans. On the floor (upside down in this photo) is the base for the cans.

This is the corner where I am thinking about putting the mixing station. Will be getting rid of some other things, straightening up, etc..but its slowly coming together.

I want to document my whole process, and may even shoot some short videos. Thought it might be interesting for someone to see the progress, or at the very least me.

Stay tuned :)
