      Looks neat! I like those inserts a lot more than the bleached skeleton coral look.

      Stand was built by Chris Benner
      Sticks n stones/Benner’s woodworking of Lebanon OH
      It’s ribbon sapele on the frame
      and curly sapele doors with a Formica top and acrylic liner
      He also installed the marine depot equipment box on the interior wall

      Those doors would have made a very nice guitar top

      New tank

      Was supposed to be a Reef Savvy 150
      (60 x 24 x24) but I didn’t have the patience
      Luckily I found a stock Planet Aquarium rimless 130
      (60 x 24 x21) that fit the stands footprint


      Just added a pair of AI hydra 26 leds
      Must say the mounting brackets were a pain to put together

      New tank

      Board mounted
      What a mess it conceals









      Two weeks into cycling
      Breaking skimmer in with gate valve fully open
