What made you go with a 15g sump?

If I ever do find appropriate hinges it wouldn't be difficult to replace the doors. That's why I just went ahead and kept going. I can revisit later if I can find hinges.

Regarding the sump, a 15 gallon tank fits in the stand nicely, has plenty of room for the skimmer and return chamber, isn't too tall to be awkward. I'm not sure what you mean, maybe if you added a "rather than ____" to the end of the question I could answer it better? Or maybe I did.

Yeah, this I know. I'm going to just use 2 bulbs for now because I want to see how it does out of interest. I might need 4 bulbs just to span the 18" width though.
