Those Soss hinges are awesome, but they won't work. They position the doors within the opening rather than the doors covering the opening. The trouble with that is that it would be a real pain in the butt to block the light coming from the sump which would shine out the crack between the door and the opening. Right now the skin on my stand only covers the 2x4s, so the opening is as big as possible. It wouldn't take much to modify the doors I have to work with the Soss hinges. I was considering the option at one point. For now though I'm just going to stick with what I have and hurry up to get some water in the tank! Replacing doors later is pretty easy.
I'm going to silicone the overflow in tomorrow morning, and hope to have the tank running by Sunday evening. I guess I will see how quickly the silicone dries.
