[dallasg]

stand will be gloss black on the outside, white fibre glass inside
Door under sea horse side will house electronics etc
Fan will have 4 extractor fans blowing air out from tank under stand.
i will drill through the wall for emergency overflow, RO inlet and skimmer overflow out

canopy will house all the lights and hopefully be on a pulley system

You have an easy sump already, take a cue from there.
