I have been looking for a matching cabinet for my Red Sea tank to put my electronics into, man I wish someone would make something.
If I could I would buy two, one for each side, One for testing stuff and dosing containers and another with a custom controller board from Elder.
I just can't get it all into the space that's provided. The wife won't allow chezzy, and that finish is tough to match.
Solutions?

I know a guy, and he is like "Here is a melamine cabinet" The finish costs to buy and mix and to set up machines to do a small cabinet that has odd dimensions its like 800 to a K. I have even thought of buying a Red Sea small cube stand.
They are so busy with big jobs a one off cost three times what it should.
IF they even consider doing it.

IKEA Havsta looks good with the black.

Also you can order a cabinet from a cabinet shop and then install maybe a granite top. A top wouldn’t cost much because they make them out of left over pieces.

In my room I built the cabinet on the left but it’s basically a pantry cabinet. The ones on the right are IKEA. They aren't a dead match for the style but it kept the wife happy.

maybe a granite top.
Funny you mentioned that, the girl at Red Sea was telling me the top has the neoprene rubber and the cutout for plumbing
so I would need to put a top on it as well. Did I mention the hardware was $65 extra for the cam locks and hinges,
She also said the Paint is a Saltwater resistant Epoxy. Red Sea needs to make furniture to go with the tanks.
