Door hinge for reef tank suggestion.

Smite · Oct 19, 2017

I'm wrapping up building a stand. I built the door out of 1/2" plywood and I'm having trouble finding a door hinge that will work and be hidden. So the door functions like a cadlights or sca cabinet. Most I'm finding need to be counter sunk into the door and mines not thick enough.

Thanks for any input.

Matt, I use magnets to hold doors. You can come and check out my stands.

Duct tape?

I did that on my last 66g. I was nice but I ended up banging up the door pretty good after a while. I put some trim around mine that over hangs slightly to cover my cut, so I'm worried it'd be fragile enough to break after some time.

Either way I'd love to check the tank out. Is it nice and stable now?

True, if you can't fix it with duct tape.........you're not using enough tape!
