there are 2 curved doors on the stand, the stand and canopy are steel with layers of laminated plywood wraped around and then tiled over top, the trim, is actually rubber, painted to look like wood. the doors have metal seahorse handles. the lighting is only 2 400W 10K ushio bulbs on electronic ballasts, to say the least, I hate the bulbs.... I will be changing it to 4 400W 14K or 20K or a mix of the 2 color tempatures. the canopy lifts off the tank by remote controlled electronic hoist, the stand is packed with equipment, a large sump, multiple pumps, uv sterilizer, skimmer, and chiller, I have an intake vent in the stand and a 600+cfm exhaust fan to vent the chiller. yeah they are expensive, this one is around $70,000.00 all said and done with livestock. I keep a algae free brand cleaning magnet with acrylic pad on the cylinder at all times for daily maintence, and I use a algae free magnet for 2" thick acrylic for bi monthly maintence, tank is only 3/4" thick. and yes its a center overflow covered by a very beautiful artifical rock and coral insert, all hand painted.

Hell of a nice set up, if I had the cash I'd spend the $70k on that, you've done a really nice job.
