The removable doors is extremely handy. I did this on my stand and got the idea from Des in Edmonton. One thing I regret is thinking too much about the outer dimensions of the stand when building it and not the inner dimensions. The stand is very much overbuilt and the amount of wood inside wasn't really considered when I built it. It's extremely difficult for me to work inside the stand, and almost impossible to remove my skimmer. I wish I had put the NO lighting fixture at the very back of the stand instead of right above the sump, where it is very much in the way. If you have a lot of evaporation as I do, you will need to vent the stand. My stand is often over 30 degrees on the inside, and extremely humid.
