Mine tiled, with sliding doors:

I LOVE your stand/sliding tile doors. This is exactly what I'd like to incorporate on my stand for the doors. Could you help a brother out and give some info: what parts and where do you get the sliding mechanism for the doors? How did you connect the doors to the sliding mechanism? And what exactly did you use for the doors, before adding the tile? Where did you get the tile, and how did you apply it? Lol sorry for all the questions but I'd love to build this for my stand and am inexperienced in diy. Thanks for any help you can provide, and again, awesome stand and tank! !
 
This is one I just finished for a friend, inwall cabinet built where a TV cabinet used to be.
The owner wanted as much access above as possible, so I built a flip frame and also installed active doors on that frame, that way doors provide access for feeding and light maintenance, and the flip frame on piano hinges goes all the way to ceiling for full access.
