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

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.

Pretty typical with 6ft 200g tank... 36" sump with large skimmer/refugium/bioreactor/return pump and controller, 10lb Co2 tank w/controller, CaRx with secondary chamber, Apex w/ several modules, 2xEB8's and 1 EB832, Ozone, Radion and Vortech power supplies and ATO controller. Also have a two chamber media reactor that fit but not using it anymore. Now that I have my refugium going again that bio reactor is going. Tired of buying pellets and the inevitable bio film even directing its output to the skimmer. If I just had room for my chiller in stand it would be happening. Chiller sits next to stand and ATO reservoir is outdoors.

Hi everybody!

Heres the inside of the stand for my 3g pico reef:

It has a 5g saltwater reservoir for semi-automated waterchanges. I use a kasa powerstrip and can preheat the water and connect a tube to quickly pump water back into the display as needed. Ive since removed the gallon of top off water and now have a small squirt bottle for top off. ive only had to top off maybe a gallon over the course of 4 months, so i only need to have a lil’ squirt bottle for a quick spritz here and there.

Pretty standard - sump, skimmer, ATO, heater controller, and dosers. I did have a Reef Octopus algae reactor at one point and an IceCap algae scrubber at another time, but they both have been removed. I have an Aquavitro Element M with carbon that I am planning to add soon.

Mine is a straight up disaster but it could be worse. Every piece of equipment inexplicably having 4 wires each doesn't make it easy in a 36" stand

I love those baskets mounted to the doors. Where did you get those?

Thanks! My wife picked them up for me at Target. They're just cabinet door mounted organizers, I think they were designed for use in a bathroom. We spray painted them black with Chrylon Fusion matte black so that the visible hooks on the exterior of the cabinet weren't so visible.
