210g "Things with Stings" Tank

I just thought of another idea.how about keeping them together as one big door and instead if hinges use magnets so the whole face comes off in one easy shot...just my .02

 

But what would i do with the door once i took it off to get in there?

 

If you want my ideas I would say immediately that the doors and door openings are not big enough if you are going to put a sump, refugium, especially a tall skimmer and maybe an ATO.
I have a 36" high stand on my 210 and I love the tall wide openings for working on my sump and skimmer. Of course if you are going to put all that in an outside room than it doesn't matter much.
The magnetic idea has merit in that the doors are not in the way when you move from one side to another. Here's a couple of pics that might give you ideas.

 

Sump is not going in the stand. If I put the two center doors together on the middle, I can crawl through that hole and move around on there. I'm 5'1" and it'll be about the size of my first apartment.

It's the 2x8 frame that limits the size if the door holes. The top of your stand is pretty thin compared to my 8"ers. The space between the header and the footer is not near the same as yours.

 

The skeleton

 

That looks sweet. If you went with #1, could all the front face doors be functional?

 

Nope, the skeleton comes too far over. If the door were to open, the leg would be right there blocking it. If I put the doors more to the center, it does look right. There's enough room for me to crawl around in there.... that's more than enough space.

 

This is where the sump will go on the outside.

 

I assume the sump will go into some sort of little "house".


Having been shown the skeleton again, I would nix the doors entirely and make that entire sheet of wood covering the front magnetic. Pop the whole side off! Seriously, that's exactly what I'd do.

 

Yes, there will be an enclosure.

The magnet thing sounds like fun but there's two problems I wouldn't want to deal with. What to do with the panels when they are off. I wouldn't want to lean them against anything. And two, you'd have to relevel the doors each time you remove the doors. You know what I'm saying? Tap a little on the right side, then the left, then the side. We tried something one time with magnets and it was kind of irritating.
