Okay, since I LOVE to plan ahead, I've already started thinking about my "next tank". Here is my starting point:
I've seen 5 or 6 plans on the net with a stand that is more than meets the eye. One was a stand with an adjascent "seating bench" which really housed the fuge. Others have a "bookcase" type left-or-right-or-both side cabinet structure where the sump, skimmer, electrical, fuge, surge, etc parts are houses which allows a sump to (for example) sit half in the side cabinet, and half under the stand.
These designs make a stand which, when placed in a room, make the tank look almost "built-in". Does anyone have a favorite? I am constantly frustrated by trying to keep everything in the stand UNDER my tank (as is the edict from the wife) and trying to get to everything through stand doors that are never well-places or large enough for me.... I a trying to find some suggestions / pointers to give myself more room.....
TIA
