Got a day off. Sure feels good.
Playing around with what the cabinet would look like if I go through with my current thoughts. Using electrical tape I created the following.





Panels for the skirt would be pressed wood with black formica. The wife says it has to be a textured mica (not the shiney stuff). I think I agree from a fingerprint standpoint. It would look very much like the background in the tank or the covers I made for the cryptic sump.

These panels would simply attach to the metal frame via rare earth magnets. I would make corner pieces with magnets in the ends so they would simply stay in place (yet removeable) with magnets mounted in the tops of the panels and bottom of the upper hood. Hood would really just be an open frame made to hide the seams of the tank.

I like it.

I'm just not sure if I want to do it all myself or have someone at least cut the wood so it's perfect or go ahead and have them do the mica job as well.
