Hello! just wanted to share the progress on my 180 gallon mixed reef, been keeping tropical over 25 years and had collected so much equipment that decided to build a huge 'fish cupboard' to keep some of it in.

Before.....

Trip to IKEA for kitchen cupboard doors. We also knocked a hole in the wall behind and installed a extractor fan to deal with the ridiculous amount of evaporation and going to have a shelf for a frag tank running of the sump of DS.
It's not finished yet but getting there, still have doors gaps to adjust and have to finish the left hand side and then frame in the tank. But when complete it will be Wall to wall.

My only regret is not getting a bigger tank....it suddenly looks small! Lol

Looks really nice. I ran into the same problem as you... I had a 75 and upgraded to a 125 this past month and now I look at it and I say I should have got the 180 lol. Good luck. Looks great. [emoji106][emoji106]
