Top-off Storage

[BIGBIRD123]

I had some extra time today, so I built me a Top-off Storage Cabinet. The top-off and pumps fit below and the shelves on top are for supplements, test kits and tools. I just need to add a back to the shelves.

Cool, looks like it will make a good little fraging table.

[BIGBIRD123]

It actually does and I have a 2.5g tank that I use as part of my dipping program with and it fits perfectly on it.

Can't wait until the paint dries, so I can get everything set-up. I hate having the top-off bucket just sitting there next to my tank. Then I can take pix of it in use.

Looks like all it needs is a light under the lower shelf, good work.

[BIGBIRD123]

Good idea, didn't think of that...LED's...lol

A par30 led bulb would be nice, I'm thinking about useing one for my refugium.

[BIGBIRD123]

I'll figure something out...

I would love something simular this, but my wood working skills pretty much suc. How much this cost in materials?

[BIGBIRD123]

Shu, it was around $60 in materials. Here it is moved in and beside the tank.

Thanks Ram...

Nice job Steve. It looks great!

[BIGBIRD123]

thanks Jack...

I'm thinking real serious about adding double doors to the top and hide the chems.

[txg8gxp]

How about a drop down door(hinge on bottom), to give you a bigger table to work on?

[BIGBIRD123]

I thought about that but with the way the stand sits in relation to the tank, it is not possible.

[Regric25]

It looks like you have some good wood working skills there Steve! You should use smoked glass framed in hinged doors for the top half. That would look nice IMO :)

[BIGBIRD123]

This was a practice project. As I upgrade to a bigger tank on a few months, I will be using better wood and staining the projects.

next project...Acrylic
