    Lol, my wife complained the tank didn't match the decor of the house and made me paint the whole thing too. ;D

    You don't HAVE to bring anything but since I know you will insist, maybe a bottle of whatever wine you want to drink? Marc and Tom are bringing dessert....oreo balls and pie :D :lol:

    Ok, I got the lights in and wired up after a kick-a$$ BBQ at Tangster's yesterday.
    The canopy is done - basically made it just like the one he had on his 180g.
    The last coat of stain is still a little sticky, so I'll wait for it to dry more before I put it on the tank.

    So I'm guessing that the stain you used on the canopy matches the stand?

    How did the dog like her doggie bag? :)

    i am so pumped to see how this looks on your tank. I would build my own but i only have a 20 long so it would be like 1/2 the size of it. VERY nicely done. Looking great
