Since everyone is doing their large build, I'll show you my small tank build. I got this nanocube on here.
Tank and stand
built-in refugium taken out. it was easier than I though. just a knife along the silicon and everything came out.
back drilled for 3/4" bulkheads and painted black to hide all the plumbing
I have this 8g fluval flora cube and turned it into a sump. fits perfectly in the stand. baffle is cut at lowes for $3. stand is reinforced with 2x3.
refugium light is also for the cube. I had 6 RBs and 3 CWs. I switched out the RB LEDs for CW. 8 cool whites and one red bridgelux 3w.
next up plumbing...
