    new 90

    Im really jealous. I just phoned my lfs for a quote on a new 90. I noticed mine is falling apart this weekend. The sealent is starting to flake away. I think i have been too rough with the cleaning. And the tank is almost 16 yrs old. Although it has been resealed once. Imo i dont like canopies. I justike the open look of it. And im using aquasun spot leds so it gives it a really modern look. Drawback is that ive lost a couple of fish over the years due to some jumpers.

    ohh yeah, you will lose some jumpers. that is the reason i have glass tops, and i don't have as much evaporation. the main reason for me wanting a canopy is to hang my light fixture inside it. right now it is putting to much weight and heat on the center support. and i will be able to remove the glass tops for more light and the opportunity to have corals!
