Tai check out Ikea, they have pre manufactured doors the look awesome if done right that is what I am going to use on my 300 stand.

Thanks Greg, will check that out

ah man why am i not around Calgary I would help ya build this in a sec its quite easy to do actually. Well for me that is, this is what I love to do help people out and assist in the projects . well good luck buddyyyyyyyyyyyyy looking forward to seeing this done.

that tank you have a pic of is awesome too.

Thanks Mike, you should move to Calgary :-)


It is kind of suck to build things when you have no plan. Now the tank on the stand, it is hard to make any modification and redo everything is not an option because of time and budget. Anyway, been talked to couple cabinets and try to figure out how to design the cabinet that can fit nicely with current setup is challenge.

Quick question, the depth of my tank is 30 inch and same as the stand , is it safe to have the tank stick out 2 inches passing the edge of the stand? Will it crack once i fill water?

Thanks

anyone have any experience with dibon for panels?

Thanks

I've used Dibond through work a while back and a couple things come to mind.
-The edges can be sharp if not dressed correctly.
-They are aluminum, so if you were planning on using magnets to hold them up, you will have to glue some mating magnets on the back.
-Mounting hinges will most likely require hardware to be visible on the front side.

For those that don't know what Dibond is, its a polyurethane core sheeted with aluminum. If comes finished with a dozen colors and is weather proof.
If i recall correctly, they come in 4' x 8' sheets and are 1/8" thick.

I'm sure it's been mentioned but ikea had glossy white cabinet doors. Sizes are limited but maybe you can make them work.

Tai, you've been to my house several times and you know that I got my glossy panels came from Ikea. Suck it up and go to Ikea :P
