Welcome to Reef To Reef and the JBJ 45 clan. The stand looks fantastic
I took and added a overflow to my tank and have a sump inside my stand

In my videos I show how I did it.
I'm still contemplating removing the false wall completely as it serves no function anymore

Water is in and been cycling for almost 2 weeks now numbers are dropping

Thanks I framed it up standard and wrapped it with a gray weathered/distressed wood they sell at HomeDepot the whole stand cost me $110

So does the door push in and then you slide it out? I went with the original stand but now wished I had gone bigger since I put a sump in mine and added 1x3 along the side and Top for extra strength

Door has hinges like a normal cabinet door
