not secret as such just cool... i picked up some electronic latches to hold the doors in place to keep tiny hands out of sump and keep a clean look to the tank.. aka no hinge hardware or locks visible on the tank save for door handles if i chose to add them.. so in the end all ill have to do is press a button and the door to sump or electical door is opened. no searching for keys. or fighting with hinge doors the whole thing removes for easier working.

the tank should be on the stand tonight and ill take pictures of everything it needs to settle into the carpet before i bolt it to the wall/floor

so a little sweet talking and i got my father over yet again to help with the tank. i feel so bad tho lifting stuff like this is not good for him. so i very grateful for the help.
