Hey, I haven't done a build log ever and thought I should start and share this build. Been in the hobby roughly 2 years, bought Dc's 42g rimless and been hooked since.

This frag tank will be a Zoa, ric, and softy tank.

Picked up this end table today.

I have some black egg crate to go in it. Picking up some smaller live rock to make some rubble. Only need some cheato algae and a media bag.

Hopefully it will get wet tomorrow.
 
All I will need is a controller...
Maybe there is a way to hook my apex lite up to it from the living room... Ill have to see if there is a way.

I have 2 tanks running off my apex, surely there is a way for you.

I think it's too far away to run them from one apex. Seems like they have to be connected with cable and are not wireless... The 2 tanks are 100ish feet apart.

Per the apex guide, you must have cables maximum of 200 feet. My 2 tanks are in same room however, after running cables along wall, it's around 32 feet. It still should work for you.

Where did you get that end table? What are the dimensions? I've been looking for something that looks similar to that but haven't found much.
