    i built the stand for my 125 no problem, but am having a hard time wrapping my head around the canopy. does anyone have pics or links to old threads that show home made canopys that look decent? or even pics of the under side of commercially available ones for ideas?

    thanks!

    i like the idea for the door on that one, but the whole thing looks kinda bulky . . . anyone got any others?

    Ill tell you...Im in the process of building my stand and canopy for a my reef tank. 90 gallon reef ready tank. I have fallen in LOVE with the Marineland Deep Dimension Tank stand and canopy. Has every feature you could need or want and I think a good diy project. Two doors in the front and the top w/ doors lift up. I will be starting in a few weeks. This video on youtube shows all its features. I have other pics of "ideas" that i have been looking at.
