Your tank stand- What is underneath your stand?

[vetteguy53081]

Many of us have various tanks in may shapes, sizes and lengths. While some spaces are generous, some are also limited.
Often we utilize ATO, sumps, skimmers, Calcium reactors, sterilizer and other components such as algae scrubbers and various reactors.

What is underneath your tank and how do you manage your components if in tight spaces?
Show us pics if your wish !!

Mine fortunately is ten feet long and I have 36" sump and utilize doser, algae scrubber, 28g ATO, skimmer, calcium reactor and UV sterilizer

The better question would be, what isn't under my stand. LOL.
I have my Apex, food, supplies, ATO reservoir, all under there as I do not have a sump.

Sump, Apex, dosers, food and co2 scrubber. Basically everything but the ATO reservoir that's now in the garage.

 

[Tcook]

All of the above. This is when it was neat and tidy. Now every square inch is packed.

don't have a current picture of under the tank but i have:

sump, skimmer, heaters, some bottles of my reefmoonshiner elements. to the side of the tank stand is my ato and the mess of wires i try to hide, but can't.

 

[SPS2020]

Everything but electronics. Caveat being the dosing pumps and ATS.

 

[fodsod]

Just normal stuff under both of mine. Sump, skimmer, dosing pumps, dosing canisters, heater controller and misc odds and ends I use daily under the 90g.

Fluval canister filter, heater controller and the UPS back up power supply for the 50g.

I have more filling in to go, I am trying to leaving as much space as possible for future improvements but here’s how I’m set up so far in my new build.

Basement fish room so you'd think it'd be pretty clean, but have food, towels, fish traps, glue, epoxy, tools, spares, etc. so while not horrible, not as clean as it probably could be.

 

[Narideth]

Ooh, oh what mystery! What's under my tank?? What could it possibly beee.





Why, another tank of course.

A freshwater tank just housing extra plants for the moment and possibly due to be broken down and retired soon. I'v been eyeing this space as somewhere I could culture pods and phyto. Decisions decisions.

I love this. A small frag rack under the tank, some grow out space. This is the kind of thing I'd enjoy adding if I set up something larger.

looking good, gunna be noisy

 

[am3gross]

I have all my empty boxes from all the ecotech and apex equipment I have bought over the last few years. Also, I have 3 5 gallon buckets of the BRS cal, alk, and mag powder. If I cleaned it all out, I would have a cleaner fish room, which one day will be on my list of things to do.

 

[RedoubtReef]

Not a whole lot right now. Eventually a skimmer will be added once fish get into the mix...

 

[stinkydavis]

Mine is stuffed with kid toys since the filtration happens on the other side of the wall

Why do you say that?

 

[thatmanMIKEson]

Why do you say that?

nothing bad, it just looks like tall vertical drains , and the pump on the glass bottom, I've had a set up like that before and it was on the noisy side. looks fine to me

I like to 90° just above the sump and have a gate valve as close to the sump as possible. with the height of the drains I try to put in 45°'s and break that vertical drop into a slower curve. and bring the drains under water level a couple of inches in the sump.

 

[Gyarados]

I got carpet under my stand lol

 

[zheka757]
