New 120 build after a year + break

Well couldnt stay away from the hobby long wife wouldnt have it lol. So i decided on a 120 this time. Good thing i saved alot of my equipment from my 80 build

So i started with building a custom stand and canopy of course we argued over color glad we went with white this time. So stand is 2x4 and 2x6 framed skinned in oak ply inside is lined with pvc board and bottom 8inches is water tight just incase .
Canopy is same wood with 2 linaer actuators for auto lifting

Looks great! Love the white.
 
Builds on hold to after holidays i have a wife who likes to spend lol Happy Holidays fellow reefers
 
Excellent work on the stand.

Can you please explain a little what you did in the front panel of the stand. The sump “door”. What’s the mechanism to open that?

Is it convenient?

I have a 6ft tank stand that I am building and i made it in a way that I don’t have a center support beam in the front. So I got this big gaping hole that won’t be appropriate for 2 doors. So I am trying to figure out what to do.

Appreciate some more detailed pics and text so I can see if I can use some of that.

Love the woodwork.
