the stand is 73.5 x 28
height with plywood top around 33.
inside of stand height is 28"

2 coats primer. 3 coats oil Benjamin Moore paint.
2x4's with 3" square head screws.
bottom is painted with oil.

trigger systems emerald 39 sump.
ECO tech vortex L1 pump
finnex 800 watt heater
(2) mp-10's

I plan on getting a nyos quantum 220 before April. till then water changes. $$$$
for lighting I was planning on using the ai prime"s...but ill just use my old quad T5 setup.
for substrate ill be using caribsea Coraline .

Added 3 ai primes
I love them !!!

Also threw on a nero 5 pump
Got another on being delivered soon

Love the easy control on my phone.
Yes it had a cord in the tank but I don’t even notice it. Pushes lots of water. The magnet IS. Strong enough for my 1/2” thick glass. Holding strong
