Im building a custom 300+ gallon system as a room divider. I need to cover the stand and frame the canopy. I am planning on using 1/2" pvc panels and cover them with a veneer of some sort, but there are precious few visual examples on how to do this. Anyone have any experience with this? I plan on having a trim carpenter help, but need to provide some guidance. Pic or where I sit now.

You can use an small "L" bracket secured to the 80/20 and then use expoy coated rare earth magnets mounted to whatever panels you choose to use. Everything is removable this way.
I mention epoxy coated magnets because saltwater will corrode the magnets fast
A quick google search and you should be able to find online sellers with many sizes and strengths
