Flower we could easily come up with a fix to make the doors on your stand see through.....I did that to my wife's kitchen cabinets.....I think someday she's never going to allow any woodworking or handyman magazines in this house......If I see, it and like it, then at some point I do it.....But that would be really easy and simple to do....Any pics of your stand doors?

My Good Cyber Friends
Nitrates were everywhere giving me fright, water changes each day and into the night. But when you have friends who love saltwater fish, the worries turned into a sump/refugium wish.
span style="font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Shawn got together all the smart ones online and decided to make me something divine. While Meowzer hunted down the perfect skimmer for me, Al&Burke started measures as swift as can be.. making sure it can fit in the cabinet you see.
Then others jumped in with opinions and thoughts. Post counts kept rising as help just poured in. To thank them all proper, where could I begin? Monsinour, U Mike, Posiden, Spanko and Gemmy. Even Beaslebob showed up 13 pages later…with all of that help, oh what could be greater?
To my amazement Corey stepped in, He created a gizmo and blocked it all in…… to sit on the tank perfect …an award he should win. He did all the plumbing and put it together, he made it so well it will last forever.
Desertdawg and 1snapple had questions to ask, and they got their answers we raised to the task.
l="https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/data/smilies/wave.gif"> Shawn with your cold, skinned knuckles a plenty, made the sump/refugium with help from so many. My friend posted pictures so all could see…the beautiful sump/fuge he created for me.
These folks didn’t know me, it’s all cyber space…
I wish they could see this big grin on my face. I wrote you this poem, I want you to know…I will always cherish your friendship, my hearts all aglow. What a shame it belongs in the cabinet below.
The end…
I said it’s the end but the story kept going, and the list of sweet kind ones just keeps growing, now there is Sparty…059, Smartori and Scott T, I have added these three. And here is the story of why it needs be.
The boxes arrived on my door step one day, everyone was excited to see what I would say. Now we are upset by the UPS guy, before I could sign for it, he took off on the fly. After opening them up, now we know why….
The sump and refugium, Acrylics sweet works of art…. were pulled from the boxes all broken apart. We called UPS… expecting insurance money..the way they have handled the claim isn’t funny. We gave them our pictures, they even came to the house. In my story they are the bad guys, the villain and the louse. Lower than pond scum for what they have done, of the insurance money we have seen none.
The sump is now costing, it isn’t for free. The work and the time and materials you see. I thought it was lost, that it was all over…but because of all these people there is a makeover. Monsinour has offered to make a road trip, nobody is trusting my new sump to ship.
Meowzer (the chairperson) offered to get us together, someplace in the US regardless of weather. Oh I can’t wait to see them, each and every one…to give each the biggest hug under the sun. It’s amazing to witness the things they have done, coming together to help just one.
I cannot describe this, it should be a movie, on the news or something because the story’s so moving. In a world full sad things, troubles and fear…on a site for saltwater fish..To find friends oh so dear. I wish I could type more but my joy tears won’t clear.
This story isn’t made up out of the blue, NO! These people exist, and the story is true. As this story unfolds I will type more for you.... the poem already takes up microsoft word page two.
LOL...I hope you guys like it. Shawn how would I go about attaching some glass doors on my fish tank stand? I need some way to attach the hinges. I am going to find some tempered glass to make some doors because I am not going to hide that sump ..
Agree big hug, and I'm not a hugger or affectionate person!!!!!!!
