I am making my own doors so if anyone has any ideas please suggest!

it would be stained the same color as the stand, but here i did to diff colors so you could see the shape cuts.

I refuse to move that! I don't want a hernia!

 

[JPSKI25]

Let me check, I may have some birch veneer to edge band some birch plywood for you.

order your doors from autumn oak way easier. you need mad tools to make raised panel doors.

Besides having a wide door in front, the 2 sides of my stand are doors too for easy access to the sump area. I find it quite helpful.

You should put a door on the top too! I haven't seen that before.

 

[Brian1980]

and in8stead of veneers you should take a trip to a mill work store and look for some fancy moldings for the exposed edges of ply????? just my .02.


That thing is way way overbuilt my 210 is on a 3/4 ply only stand .

 

[badazztealcobra]

Is this stand for multiple size tanks as well ???

If not, I would ditch those center legs and make some huge doors for it so you can really get under there and work... I believe youre doing a 120 right ?? You can just do 2x4's with a 4' span. I did 2x6's because its a 6 foot span on my 180 and I didnt have anything in the center...

Side doors would be nice as well if you have access to the sides.

I cut 2x4 down to 3" wide for my 210 stand. I came 8 to 11 inches in with extra support, with the intention of sliding a 75 under it for a sump through the front. i ended up drilling and siliconing (2) 40 breeders together, and ditching the 75 sump idea, sliding the 40 breeders in on the side.

That stand looks pretty strong. I'm guilty of overbuilding too. I have a 55 on a stand that's just like yours (2X6). Kinda funny, my 55 on a 2x6 stand, my 210 on a 2x3 (1.5x3") stand.
