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.

So much potential here. This is really cool.

 

[ReefMagicMan]

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

Looking at getting five yellow tangs in about 45 days or so
