Thanks! I appreciate the positive feedback. I'm always a little nervous putting myself out there. I'm actually getting ready to build a new one, and I'll be posting about it in my build threat. Will also write an article on how to DIY controller cabinets. Stay tuned!
 
Does anyone have suggestions on how to angle a display board? I'm looking at some IKEA cabinets but I'd like to have the mount angled up inside the cabinet, but I'm not handy enough to know how to do it easily ;D

Thanks for any suggestions!

Either some 1x1 wood blocks or just a couple 90 angle clips… screw them in at the angle you want and place the Facia board over them to your desired angle.. it’s simpler than building a IKEA cabinet haha!
 
Drilling the tank next weekend, hopefully.
Watch this space!
