Ai Vega's in my new cabinet

Thanks Mike. Yes it is only accessible from the front, I really don't mind it at all. To tell you the truth I originally planned on doing a double piano hinge so I could open the top as well but was worried about clearance from the ceiling. All I need to do now is finish the bottom but ill probably wait tell spring/summer as the girlfriend didn't like the smell of stain and urethane in the house lol. What kind of wood you thinking of going with? I used 1/2 inch oak. When and if I ever do it again I would definitely go with 3/4 the half is just a little to flimsy.

Looks awesome Steve. Just one thing you might want to have some air venting in and out of that hood somehow like a fan on the top or something, otherwise it might get a little toasty in there.

I am planing 3/4 oak ply. With an opening front and top as the tank is 36" wide.

Thanks martin, fans are going in tonight 3/4 is the way to go Mike. What lights you going to be running?

Currently the plan is my old school 400w mhs unless my radion has proven its self by the time I bring this beast in then the plan would be 2 or 3 radions
