After building the cabinet/stand, it made sense to utilize the L compartment for a shelf and DIY control board above the ATO reservoir. Wood used is from the doors of my first tank stand; brings a bit of nostalgia. The mini board holds just the controls for the M2, MP40 x2, and Kessil lights. The board is held in place by magnets. The shelf is screwed in; precautions were made to keep electronics separate from the water reservoir below.
The sump was slightly modified for the ReefMat 500. Details are documented here: ReefMat 500
Special grade sand rinsed in tap water. Set in place. Drying for the next few days. Using mostly RealReef shelf rocks and a few Marco foundation rocks. Initial water test passed 24 hr check.
Next step - Fill and cycle!
