Nikki,
This is my first look at this thread. That is a beautiful stand w/cabinets!! From what I can see It's taken alot of hard work but, boy.....looks like it was well worth it!

Mark is good at that kinda stuff not me thats for sure. Thats why I hardley ever come to the DIY threads. I'll have to visit more often!

The cabinet doors arrived today, and here is a look at them. The small ones on the floor will be on the face of the canopy. Obviously, this is pre-stained. Just thought I'd give you a peek at them. Enjoy!

Yeah!!! Look's awesome.

Spooda420 · 01-19-2004, 06:52 PM

what size it that tank? and whats going to go on the left? all the supplies and goodies or a fuge?

NaH2O · 01-19-2004, 07:08 PM

The tank is a 120 gal. The side cabinet will house the gravity fed refugium, goodies, and in the future - a calcium reactor on the bottom.

Looking good Nikki!!!

Craig Manoukian · 01-20-2004, 12:22 AM

Nice doors, lookin' good! Keep the pics comin', thanks!

Pro_builder · 01-22-2004, 09:12 PM

Nikki, Looking good, please keep the picture coming as it progresses.
Sounds like you have it all figured out. It is always a plus to have the future involved in the plans.

Willmsbrg · 01-23-2004, 07:06 AM

wow,
That is a beautiful set-up

I look forward to seeing more pics as it continues to
move along.. Very nice....

NaH2O · 01-28-2004, 01:59 PM

Well, here is an update. The doors are attached. There still is trim that needs to go up. Also, there is a piece that will go on the backside of one of the lower doors and will fill in the space - it will appear as a brace piece, but when the doors are open, I won't have anything in the middle in my way. Also, the crown needs to go up, and the door fronts on the face of the canopy. I'm not sure I want them up though, as I really like the grain of the canopy. I'll have to see how it looks, I guess. Well, here's the she-beast:

NaH2O · 01-28-2004, 02:01 PM

Here is a picture of the doors in their open postion. The little reefer in front is my 2 year old, and is the reason we will also have locks on all the doors with the key out of reach. The pulls on the doors will be a brushed nickel.

Enjoy:
