Like title says, I'm in the planning stage for epic stand. 
Would love to hear some great ideas for what would be great to add. At the moment the stand will hold a 45g 24x18x24 DT and a 20g 24x18x12 frag tank. Eventually I would like to upgrade my display to a 60x24x24 150gish. So I am planning the footprint of the stand to accomodate this tank and will be bracing it accordingly.
Thoughts I am having so far. The stand will be framed to bear weight of the two different tank configurations it will hold. There will be no hinges or doors per se, but panels that attach by magnets to increase access to the stand. I am planning 3 compartments.
Compartment One will house a ATO container on casters that I can roll out to the RODI station and back under stand. Approximately 10gallons. About 14" wide.
Compartment Two will house the sump/fuge. I am thinking this will be 37" wide to hold a 36x18x18 sump/fuge/reactors
Compartment Three will house the brains. Thinking some shelves. electrical and power sources on the top shelfe screwed into the back. bottom two shelves for storage of dry food and other stuff. This would be 14" wide as well. Thinking that this section would open off the side that way the opening would be 24" wide and 14" deep. As opposed to 24" deep and 14" wide.
What other stuff would you add if you building your epic stand? What would you use for the deck?
