Can you provide the dimensions of the controller cabinet? I just ordered a Reefer 900, and would like to plan out my controller layout for a smooth/ quick transition from my current tank.Control board (cabinet) is done and installed. Thankfully after disconnecting everything and installing onto the controller board it all still works lol. I also spent some time organizing/hiding my cords, hose lines etc. in both sump areas. I installed my Fuge and Frag tank lights. Ill keep those off until needed. Ive started a 30 day acclimation cycle for my Radions so they just come on for a few hours each night. I put in a small Tunze pump in my frag tank to create more flow.
The control board/cabinet slides into the stand with about 1/16" to spare on all sides. I didn't plan for it to be quite that close lol. But it fits perfectly and looks as if it was built into the stand. To access I simply slide it out and can access from the top or slide all way out if I need to get into it deeper. I installed the EB and FMM on the back of the stand as there was simply not space on the controller board.
Tank is looking great. Cycle appears to be done and the 3 clowns are doing great. Only issue at this point are the micro bubbles I get into my display tank. The skimmer is mostly broken in but I guess it still has a ways to go - that or I don't have it adjusted correctly yet.
Face is 17" wide x 27.5" high. Depth is 16" deep. It barely clears but does. There is a small diagonal brace piece in the bottom where the center support meets the base. I chose to not cut a 45 degree angle into the face - instead I just take the little brace out if/when I need to pull out the cabinet.Can you provide the dimensions of the controller cabinet?

Awesome, Thanks!Face is 17" wide x 27.5" high. Depth is 16" deep. It barely clears but does. There is a small diagonal brace piece in the bottom where the center support meets the base.

ID reefer here too. Glad to find others on here.nice another ID reefer. I got my RD650P from Josh over at corals for cheap.
there is a lot more reefers on that side of the sate.
I hope you have lots of friends that like you, once they help get the tank in the house and on the stand they may not...lol
fallowing this one.
if you dont have the skimmer yet look into life reef skimmers I hear good things about them.
I need to do this on my floors. I may have to pick your brain on how and what exactly you did. Do you have a link for the floor jacks?So besides receiving the tank today I found some time to install my RODI filter. I tied into my water line in my crawl space and also ran a line to where I plan to put my ATO tank. I still need a couple valves and need to finish my Mixing station...
The other thing I did was spend several hours in my crawl space putting up a 4x6 beam below the joists where my tank is going. I also put in blocking between the joists directly over the beam. My tank will sit adjacent to a bearing wall which has a footing and pony wall under it. It also sits perpendicular to my floor joists and that span wasn't long to begin with - all good things. This floor is obviously not designed for this amount of load (estimating around 2,500 lbs.) however so adding a beam on jacks will support the added weight based on some calculations I did. However to sleep better once this thing is full of water Im going to go back under tomorrow and add a couple more supports.
Yeah lol i just replied on your build thread. My joists run perpendicular to my tank so a little different than your situation. Jacks were ordered from Home Depot. You can get on Amazon too.I need to do this on my floors. I may have to pick your brain on how and what exactly you did. Do you have a link for the floor jacks?
