My stand idea, what do you think?

Just playing around with Photoshop a little trying to get an idea of what kind of stand I want to make and came up with this. I'm planning on painting the back and the side that has the overflow on it blue or black then leaving the other two sides open for viewing. I want something that will look nice and have a place where I can keep all of my equipment/chemicals.

The bottom bigger door is so I can get a 20g high (my current tank) in there for the sump/fuge and the smaller door is going to be so I can get to the skimmer easy to clear which will probably be an ASM G2 with a recirc mod.

On the left side bottom will be used for storing equipment/chemicals. Above that will sit a 5g bucket that will hold my topoff water which will be controlled by a float valve in the sump.

Then above that will be a shelf that will hold my ballasts. I will probably have some kind of fans on this part or leave the back open for ventilation.

The hood will open upwards giving me access to the whole tank instead of 1 or 2 little doors that open to the sides. The thicker black lines are fans, and the smaller ones are hinges.

If anyone has any suggections to make this better please tell me. I made the doors on the left side that size so I could have a place to run the topoff like to the sump so it would not be seen.

I think I might paint the trim black then a dark stain for the rest.
