Default Steel Stands

I am just geeting ready to weld together my steel stand for my new 65 gallon DT with 30 gallon sump. I am trying to make sure I weld everything I can think of before painting it. Even if it is thing that I may add later which I dont have yet. One thing I am tring to come up with is an idea for mounting all the electronics. I was thing some sort of pull out hanging drawer which I can seal off from the rest of the sump area. I am going to add a few tabes on the back for rods for the lights to hang from. So I would love to here from those of you with metal stands or who have ideas to share.
Thanks
Karl

I just finished building mine. Here is where I am attaching an electrical panel...



A wooden panel will screw onto the end and will be enclosed and sealed.

It's on the very end left side...

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
