Thank you.

Yes, there will be a matching canopy, and possibly a side cabinet for storage. We wanted to get the tank on the stand first to best figure out how to situate the canopy.

nice hitch-hikers

Dig the stand!!

Just my two cents, have you thought about painting your PVC with Krylon. I did that with mine so the white did not stick out as much in the tank.

All the plumbing will actually be hidden by the hood, so it won't be visible once everything is assembled. I may however paint the plumbing in the back of the tank.

What color did you paint yours?

I painted my return line black becuase I use a black background on the tank. I just find that it blends in a little more.

btw nice tank design and all, killer when its done!!

Thank you!

Is this tank in a dorm room?

Its an apartment that is just about as tiny as a dorm room.
