How did you make the doors?

I measured out two large places and on the back drew with a pencil and ruler/level an out line and cut it out with a roto-zip then covered it with chase molding...on the back I used scrap birch sheet pieces with a spacer to make a slot to slide in the bottom and on top two of those pop-in/ out clips at home depote 59cents each works great and they are huge openings to fit both of my monster wet-drys under...I am running 3000gph on the tank with no problems....one is a spinner dual chamber gulf stream wet-dry and the other is a huge single drip plate style with huge charcoal bag plumed in the flow path 100% ...just ready for my fish to get HUGE ....I sure miss my Pbass in my other tank I donated them to the Dallas World Aquarium and got a years free pass fpr me and family Cool monsters I wished I had them in this tank though ;-(

I used Popular for the canopy another great wood that looks like deep maple and is cheap...I used 2/4 pine for th etop and bottom 45% with a nice router bit to like just like hand carved crown molding with hand scrapes on all piecies ...thanks again for all the nice comments...
