So im wondering if anyone has also used magnets to hold the front panel or side panels on ur diy tank stand if u could post pics and the magnets used
 
I have a magnetic front panel. Make sure you counter sink the magnets on your stand, so your panel sits flush. I think I detailed it in my stand build video:
 
Thanks man I appreciate the feedback
 
I just used some cheap ones from amazon. They do not hold the weight of the panels just hold it to the stand.

Neodymium magnet attached to a light gauge angle screwed to the frame, with a light gauge plate screwed to the pop-off door.

Base of pop-off door sits on a trim piece at the base of the frame, so magnets only hold the door on, not up.

I used marine grade encased magnets. This was for a hood but same idea. The panel had cleats in the back that held the weight then the magnets just held it upright.
