210g "Things with Stings" Tank

Actually, #3 would be better functionally. There is not center brace so I could have a bigger opening and I wouldn't have to set up a removable center brace in the plywood skin. The 2 doors out the outer sides are going to be attached and nonfunctional..... Like nailgun attached. It's just for show

 

I like the looks of 3 the best by far.

 

I think 3 would be easiest... but it will come down to how you setup underneath right.

I'd want to put one on the side too, to slide things in and out...

 

#1 for sure

 

There's no room on the sides, I used 2x8s for the skeleton. There is only 8" between the posts on the side. That was the original plan in our head, but then when we built it we kind of went "oh....".

Ya learn something new to consider everytime you do a project.

Guess I need to get the moulding so I can map out the door placement properly.

 

Im for #1 also.seems it would be easier to get to or place anything under the tank.

 

#1 & 3 would be most functional. I also like the look of them. #2 just doesn't look right to me...all the 'posts' b/w the doors.

Though for #3 I would def. make the 2 doors on end, functional. more room at access equipment. Plus, if you ever had an emergency(such as a leaking tank or something spills) under the tank you could get under there more easily than if the doors were non functional.

 

I reside to the more opening you can get the better. I like Option 3, if the middle were a little bigger. If you cannot make them larger, I vote #1 cause you can more easily get into both ends..

 

The two end doors are non-functional, not by choice, but a product of the skeleton design. That cannot be changed.

 

Looking great. I think which ever design you pick needs to be functional. How you plan to lay out the sump should dictate your door placement. I bet it will look great which ever one you go with. Cant wait to see it up and running.
