My New Canopy & Stand Doors Finally Made
So I started this tank up in March and moved everything from my 37G tank into this one. Here is a picture from the orig. setup back than. Than the rest of the pictures are from today with the new canopy and stand doors that my grandfather and I made over the course of two weeks. Let me know what you all think

Wow very impressive! I like how the stand & canopy complement your stairs and kitchen. BTW not bad of a display tank too

Thanks. I'm working on the display end of these days. I have some nice stuff growing in, but the hamilton 14k bulbs do not compliment the tank at all and will be changing over to phoenix bulbs. I have a good amount of different things going in the tank which is starting to fill in since I put 2x250's over the tank

Hehe its a great cheap chiller! I love it for $15.00 and it keeps a perfect 78 all day long and shuts down with the lights

Personally (and don't take this the wrong way) but I could do without the trim pieces lined up over every part where the wood comes together. I would probably remove it and just leave the part around the perimeter.

It was done that way as I hate the pine rotored out boards that were orig. on the doors. Everyone gets them that way with pine wood stands that are premade and I wanted it also to be different.Also the trim that are on the canopy doors help make it the french door style. I plan on adding more trim to the stand to match the canopy even more.
