there will be 2 vertical braces in the back of the stand the front will have no brace i doubled the 2x6 and made it a header. more than enough strength there. there is going to be only one removable panel on the front. im tired of doors and ill enjoy the ability to work under tank freely as well the sump conpartment is going to be divided by the equiptment compartment and that divider will add extra support as well. m only real concern is the halide ballasts overheating.but ill figure it out once the rough in work is complete. but thank you for the suggestion.
