Whats the trick to building a stand with a removable face panel for easy open access to the sump?
I built my past stand, and im thinking about building a new one.
But im drawing a blank when it comes to how to have the ability to remove a panel without having to un-screw them every time.
Do people use magnets, a cleat system, does it just rest on the floor?
Pics, videos, tips, tricks, all would be very helpful.

How long is your stand? Mine is a 40" stand and I mounted swinging doors on hinges.

The easiest method is to use magnets. If you go to Lowes or Home Depot, you can buy magnetic latches where you can simply attach the slim metal tab on your "door" and the clasp on the inside of your tank.

Try a french cleat like you would for hanging a floating shelf.
