New to this hobby but did my research and trying to learn from everyone’s mistakes and should ofs...with that being said I I pre thought out equipment that I was going to get and will eventually get. I pre measured all there controllers with the mind set of getting them. That’ll probably change lol but hey I’m trying

final product of control cabinet and pretty stoked how it came out! Let me know what you guys think

one of the biggest problems I see is wire management and here I am doing my best to tackle this problem in the beginning. The reason I’m mounting like this is I’m trying to keep everything under the tank and not build outside. I don’t want to use the ATO that was provided by red sea and my original plan is to get a custom one behind this cabinet

aquascaped with my son. Measured out the tank and went to work

glued and let it set for 2days

Added water and shrimp and bottle of Dr.tims to get this cycle going! I am following the BRS 4 month cycle

I’ve been testing ammonia every few days and watched it spiked and now is nearly at zero. This will be going on the 3rd week of my 4 month cycle. I have been going off the @Bulk Reef Supply video they made which was great because they kept it as simple as possible! I dropped the shrimp in there a long with 8oz bottle dr. Tim’s and happy on the turn out so far. The struggle is real when your starring at a empty tank with a dead shrimp haha but one thing I am following 100 percent is to be patient in this hobby!
