DIY Tank Ideas....

First... let me say thanks for all the help so far guys in my threads, this place has been a great source of information.

Here is my situation.

I am building a Tank stand for my 75 gallon reef tank, the frame itself is not a problem.

I plan on adding a access door on one side (for top off water) and double doors in the front, for easy access to the sump tank, skimmer, etc.

On the back of the door, I am adding wire basket shelves, to store my chems, misc gear.

What I am looking for is ideas to make this stand unique, and make it look real nice.

Please give me whatever ideas you have, or links to threads with them. As I have spent way too much time looking on my own.

Thanks in advance, you guys are the best.

No doors, instead make completely removable front and side panels. Ideally, the panels would be made of your favorite hardwood and attached with magnets.

Use a marble slab for the top.
