Flobex,

I do see your point. One big area would have some advantages.

Our idea was to have one side of the stand for storage. The other side will store the ballasts and possibly a power "center". For example, we want to be able to turn off the flows when feeding with out turning everything off. Also, when we do water changes, we want to turn off the pumps with out it affecting other equipment. Therefore, we have two separate purposes for each side.

Thanks.
