Hello everyone! I'm new here, and new to salt water. I just started a freshwater tank last month. I want to do a salt water tank but this will be at least a year away at the soonest. I'm only researching at this point.
I would love to make an aluminum t-slot stand. My question is how would you put the panels on the side of it? I have found a few and they look like it's attached one of three different ways. One is pre-drilled holes with thumb-screws that hold the panels into place. I'm not a big fan of this since you cannot get into it fast. The other ones I do like. I found videos with slots, like the ones Vertex used (Did they stop making tanks?), that goes down the track. Also there seems to be ones that are magnets.

I was trying to message a member here, mhucasey, since he posted in the Show Me Your Stand thread here in the DIY forum but since I haven't made a post I couldn't contact him. So after I post this I'll send him a message, but if anyone else has any inputs or if mhucasey sees this then feel free to reply.
