Frame is back from the powder coaters.

I've been thinking about the shell for the cabinet and realized that I have a problem. The frame was made to just barely fit the tank. So the tank will basically be flush with the edge of this frame. I'm thinking that pressed wood and mica would probably be the easiest for the shell of the cabinet.



I figured I'd lay a piece of plywood on top of the frame. The upside down skimmer cup represents the tank itself (flush with frame). In order to get a strip that would cover the transition from the stand to the tank it looks like I would have to inset the side panel A as depicted in the photo above.

Then I could come along and add strips to cover things. Strip B would have to be a wide strip (5 inches) and strip C could be 2 inches.



My other option would be to just make panel B large enough to cover the entire side and hide the transition from stand to tank but that would look pretty darn plain.

Any other ideas?
