does anyone who owns a redsea 250 have any type of storage inside the tank stand? I'm doing a rsr250 build and wondered if there was an out of box shelve that fit inside the tank stand

Howdy,

Saw you pulled the trigger and got one. Awesome. Can’t wait to see the build. Not sure about the shelf. Maybe someone tonight can help.

Bought myself one too! Congrats. following to see if anyone has suggestions for shelving. I also do like those apex set ups some people have implemented into the cabinet.

My RSR 250 houses a chiller so I don’t have room for shelving. I do have an Apex mounted in there and have found there is ‘just’ enough room for a DOS head on each side of the cabinet at the top. It’s tight but works well. Here is a shot of my setup. Apex mounted left, DOSs and FMM on the back, EB6 on the right (we don’t get the EB8 down under )-: .

My tank and cabinet are from a RSR Max e260, but width wise it is the same as a RSR 250.

I separated a wet side and dry side and created compartments for everything. Its still a work in progress, but you'll get the idea. I just built it all out of 1/2 inch plywood I had laying around and then wrapped it with matte black vinyl.

I didn't go all the way to the top of the cabinet with the separators because I plan on storing my power bricks on top shelving out of view. I'll have about 2 inches of space on top of it.

I have also used this build thread as inspiration at times


Jason (@Eight ) has a very clean RSR 250 build thread. I suggest you check it out.
