SS looks cool, but who broke the stainless? They turned the panel 90 degrees when the broke them, you can see the finish on the stainless run perpendicular to each other, and that would bother the shlt outta me. Cool idea though.

Very clean setup! I'm in the planning stages for my 215 and was wondering the size of the two horizontal tanks and where you got them from?

Thanks

Decided to add more stainless steel panels to the side moldings to cover the wood.

The grain of the stainless on the panels are different. When they were building the doors, they turned the sheets before they broke them, resulting in the left panel grain being vertical and the right panel grain being horizontal.

I got all my Tanks from TankDepot.com but I think plastic mart is better. They have the same tanks and they have viewable blue prints with Measurments

I remodeled my bathroom last year and we went with all glass tile in the shower. Apparently there's a pattern to the tile, but I didn't see it. My wife took a picture to put on Facebook, the pattern is super noticeable, looks like shlt in the pic, but amazing in person, probably the same applies to your doors :).

Tank looks nice, I like the rock structures. You may have said, but what's your stocking plan?

Thanks bro. Sps dominant and clams. Im probably going to start by putting in some rainbow BTAs to plant their foot down then SPS branching off around the pillars and some nice table acros on the top. I created the heights of the pillars based on the variety of PAR measurements.
