The is directly behind tank in living room. Going to wrap in nice wood and stain. Moving Doser and container to this location. Give me some room under tank.

@Tommy Shumpert following. What model Tuna Blues are they?

I have 2 of the A160's, I am thinking of upgrading to 2-XR15's. I don't think the Tuna Blues are doing that great for the size of the tank.

I took a pic so you could see the location of the stand to the tank.

Finished with box. Moved a few things over. My DOS and the storage for the fresh salt water/used salt water.Got that all hooked up and running. Just need to run the lines for my doser.

Cabinet looks great!! Always nice to gain some room back under the tank!

Exactly! Now I have room for a Calcium Reactor when needed...Or larger refuge.

Few updates:
I have been dealing with Redsea about stains on the inside of my tank.
just have to say they were awesome about the whole deal and replaced my tank.
The clarity on the new tank is night and day.
Not sure what happen, but it basically looked like water stains on the inside of the glass.
Was not fun switching the tank out of coarse...
I relocated my UV to sit vertically next to sump.
I also replaced my jabao doser with the Versa pumps. LOVE THEM. Really like being able to adjust dosage with app.

I am hoping the empty area next to the sump is enough for a calcium reactor later on.

Few coral pics. Blasto is my fav!

Side note, I have a 13 gallon tank in the kitchen my wife keeps. Its looking good. I credit the success of the tank with weekly water changes. I change about 5 gallons a week. Tropic Marin Pro.
There is a clown and anemone on the back side. Dang thing moved to back cpl weeks ago.
