Hello everyone,

I am in the process of cycling my 180 Gallon reef tank and I am still working on a few minor details. One of which is my doors for the stand. I had originally planned on adding barn door style doors down the road, but am curious to see if anyone else has come up with anything creative. I am also considering just hanging a black curtain on each side for the time being. What has everyone else come up with?

I would probably get a thin-ish sheet of wood that covered the entire thing, and just hang it on/off via wood-dowels in the stand, and holes in the wood cover/door.

You could do all sorts of cool stuff with it..... self-level-epoxy stuff on it, metal, etc...
 
I would consider creating one or two panels out of wood and then using magnets or hooks to attach them to the front of the stand. That way you will not have doors on hinges in your way when you are doing maintenance.
