White Stand & Rim

[PugsAndFish]

I'm looking for inspiration for a potential build. I want to build a white stand (to match the rest of the home's decor) and paint the black rim of the tank white (again, to match the decor).

Can you post photos of white stands or display tanks with a white rim?

Rim....as in hood?

I have a white stand that I built for my 75g tank. I haven't attached the doors yet, though.

These are the doors I still need to hang

Nope. I'm referring to the black plastic at the top and bottom of the generic Petco stands.

Saw your thread! I love how you have the side cabinet as a part of the stand. I'm considering doing the same.

I initially had it designed for a small cabinet on each side, but it would have been too looking for the space where it was initially going to be placed. But then I decided to move it to the basement at the last minute, so it would have had enough space for the second cabinet. Oh well...

I'm thinking of changing how I hang my doors now. Initially i was going to use hinged, but all cabinets with hinges seem to rust terribly. I may now actually make a track and just literally hang the doors. Or just put a door on the small cabinet and leave the sump open.
