Ron,
I am glad you enjoy making things out of wood. I hope you and Angel and Vicki do not mind me showing this to others...

I was curious about the front doors and support? One pic looked like it might be tight to get a sump in the stand but I may have looked at the stand wrong.

jjarmillo - There are two stands pictured on the thread. Our stand is the one that is already finished. It is 69" long X 28" wide X 36" high. The tank is 60X24X24 (150 gal). This set-up will sit in a 'niche' so only access will be from the front. The opening in the front of the double doors is 37" for a 36" sump to be inserted. There is no stile between the middle doors, even though it looks like it in the finished picture. We also have clip-on hinges, so the doors can be removed (Blum hinges at Rockler.com). This facilitates easier access. We also have cutouts at the base of the four internal cabinet supports for drain/return lines.

The other stand, Angel's, has a door in the end of the stand. He will slide in a 55 gallon sump from the end of the stand. Angel will have to provide more details about his set-up, but I think his design to accomodate a large sump is very creative.

Hope this gives you a bit more detail. Our stand is beautiful and we can't wait to work with Ron on our canopy.

Thanks for clarification. Beautiful work! Thanks for hint on hinges...I need to replace a couple in my stand.
