These sorts of shelves now come in all sorts of configs and sizes, and the 2-shelf large-small was idea for my bowfront 105. If you have ANY space left over from your under-stand sump (I'm lucky: mine's basement) these would be a good addition to corral those myriad bottles, canisters and such that you chase through multiple bins in the shadows. These pull out into the light as a unit and slide back neatly.

I had my UPS mounted on a similar shelf. The slides rusted very quickly. Give them a good coating with something like Pam to give them a bit of protection.

Good idea. Our under-stand area is protected, the sump and its splash being in the basement, but an oil coating and a plastic sheeting barrier might be a good idea.
