The weight of the door is held up by the L brackets at the bottom, so the magnet just has to hold it closed against the frame. Works perfectly - just enough strength to hold it but easy to pull off.

150 gal. 2x6 wood frame covered in ¾ plywood & ¼ cement board and $400 of ledger stone. Initially I had the sump underneath but since I’ve moved it to my garage and I’m using a 100gal Rubbermaid as sump.

Nice. Very jealous of the garage sump! Too cold in mine for that.

Show me Your Fancy STANDS!!!
3/4 Maple Ply. All pocket hole screws and lots of glue. It feels very stout but will get a vertical center brace prior to filling. Doors, edge banding and stain coming soon and I’ll update this post when done.
It’s for a 60x24x24 150g SCA rimless. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Love the white interior sobos I’m doing the same.
Since I’ll have some plumbing going to the basement I’m thinking about putting a drain in the base in case something ever leaks big time but I’ve never seen that done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

i used the same LEDs in my stand as well..... all was good until about the 7month mark then they started to peel and droop do to humidity and moisture, so keep an eye on it..
