I've been using this stand (tank is new) as a tropical for about 15 years. So, I am a complete newbie to the salt water world.
I built the stand with my Grandfather and while it might not be the most stylish these days (it was built 15 years ago after all) I can't see myself losing it, even if it messes with the wife's styling

System Objectives: What is the end result going to be?
To run a successful mixed reef in a small tank with no sump. Hope to move to a 3x2x2 with sump after a few years.
