I agree with Russ..even as a trim I think it would be distracting if it were anywhere near the tank itself.
What about something lower down on the doors (if at all...)

Looking good btw! :)

The doors are on. I need to replace the crappy screws that came with the hinges, I snapped two of them in half just tightening them by hand.:mad:

Here are 2 quickly done photo edits to give you an idea of what I'm shooting for.

The idea is a monument for a stand.

First pic, virgin faux Granite.

Sorry, too bland for me! Lets give that granite some character, you know, a little patina.

Weather in the Northeast can be rough on granite, it cracks and gets stained from the rain and elements.

Now this is much better. (believe me, the actual paintjob will look nicer!)

Nice editing job. :)
Can you do it in a darker granite..or maybe one of the green shades of granite? It does look an awful lot like a tombstone...

Are you going to leave the cubby open?

That was the idea, D.A.!:fishhit:


The cubby will have two glass shelves in it, I might make a smoked glass door for it. I'm not sure yet, i'll make that decision after I paint it.

Ouch! That's Mssss DA to you!:fishhit:

Ok then...tombstone it is! They do have tombstones in many different colors of granite..thinking that a darker color would make the tank pop more.
I do like the idea of the smoked glass door on the cubby. :)

Hey Russ,

You sure you don't think some artwork would dress it up a bit?

Did you finish it yet? Any new pics? Love the look, reminds me of my first cabinet stand I got back in the 80's from petland discounts.;) Unfortunately the MDS they used came apart on the bottom after a mini flood.;(
