Nice! What's the measurement?

I just finished mine not long ago too, your doors look similar to my stand.
Now, gotta make that canopy!

Good job!

I believe the measurements around the top fascia are 50.5" x 19.75". I didn't run the fascia around the back of the stand, nor did I enclose the back. All told the materials cost around $130, with about 8 hours of labor involved.

The best part though, is that even without water in it, the tank is sitting level!
