It's done! We decided to create storage around the tank to hide all my fish tank equipment and enclose the lights make it look little more modern. All done with Ikea kitchen cupboard doors, even installed a ventilator fan in the wall set to come on at 70% humidity, so no more moisture issues. What do you think?

Before:

After....

The doors were bought just as is, with no hinges etc, a few needed cutting down, but everything was built onto a bespoke frame to fit our walls which are not level, even the floors drop by 4 inches...nothing was level or square everything had to be cut wonky to match up.

A+!

Nice work!
