    I bought a used 125 and my husband is going to build the stand and canopy. I want to have the canopy hinge open but will have two 24" led fixtures in it. Anybody have a picture with a hinged canopy or suggestions? Thanks

    The canopy I built for my 90 gallon is not hinged but has a fairly large opening with doors to allow for maintenance, etc. I have 2 16" reef breeders fixtures hung in them. See this thread for details and pics: http://www.3reef.com/forums/showthread.php?t=144022

    I'm about to build one tonight as well for 2 x 24" leds. I plan to have the front face hinge at the top. I bought a piano hinge for it.
