HELP: Side cabinet designs for tank storage

Lowefx · 04/26/2019, 05:56 AM

Hello everyone. Since my stand has no extra room due to the sump, I'm looking for ideas or designs for a side cabinet. Ideally this cabinet would hold my ATO/reservoir, all controllers and electrical connections, and storage for dosing and fragging supplies.
If anyone has a thread on how you built yours, that would be amazing. I'm up for any ideas, except going to Ikea and buying a garbage cabinet that will not hold up.

Side cabinet same design & color or stain as tank would look nice.
ATO -- unless it has a top I would opt for a different location. Can you put 1 each side?

Yes, I guess I never thought about a small one on each side. What were you thinking of?

One for water 1 for the rest.
A search for equipment cabinet should bring up something.
I remember seeing a few but I do not need them.
