Getting gear mounted

The area under the 60g needed to be better organized. With the stand reinforced with wood panels, it made it easy to secure the various devices in place. It's still a work in progress, but here's a quick update shot.

What you're seeing here is part of my Ecotech collection. Two Vortech Mp40w pumps are close by, one on the 400g and the other on the 60g. The large square object is the Vortech Battery Backup. This battery will keep both pumps running for at least 12 hours if not longer. Circulation is key when the power goes out.

The other white object is the ballast for the Radion LED fixture that hangs over the 60g. Keeping the electronics dry is important, and affixing them off the floor is the first step usually. I still need to complete this area, getting a new power strip installed and secure the two Vortech power supplies to the stand.

Here's the view of the 400g that I enjoy often. So clean, not cluttered, just reef.

And from the front, looking down from above when all the bulbs were in daylight mode.
