    I love my sps. Took my tank over a year to really be ready for them. Go slow start with some easier to grow ones, stag horns, stylos etc make sure you have a lot of coralline growing that is a good meter for the maturity of your tank as well.

    So no new pics, but I got the canopy worked out utilizing what I already built. :biggrinbounce:

    Pretty much just trim work left, and then some sanding, staining, sanding, staining to do. Exterior will be a stain and then polyurethane.

    Also for the canopy, I am going to seal the inside with a marine sealer. going to caulk all corners first and then a few layers of the marine epoxy. Interior of stand just exterior gloss white as I dont need it for the sump.

    will add some lighting though :)

    You dont need doors to get that tank wet. This is going to be nice.
