i love your rock work! and beautiful cabinet!
It's funny how things work out I did a job at a house went by to complete it the next day and it was free out front
I was about to buy one for about 600 bucks and poof there it was
 
Nice cabinet! So clean.

My wife got tired of all my reef stuff all over the place, I'm definitely not Mr. Clean...and she bought me a cheap Temu white plastic cabinet to store it. 😁 Oh well, I throw everything in there and out of sight, out of mind.

Excited to see you filling this tank with corals and fishes soon.

Dig the stools. My tank is by the kitchen table so I usually just slide the chair over.
 
I really don't know anything about reefing so I'll probably be in trouble in that part of it but the build is easy
Relying on my buddy to guide me through and will probably have some paid help twice a month for awhile

Kind of funny I actually bought them for my bar at the kitchen counter but didn't realize they were not height adjustable so they worked their way over into my reef room

You will find you will use them a lot once you have critters in there. I have a huge clean up crew with different crabs shrimp and snails. Fun to watch
