That is a very sweet setup. Do you have anything in place for air circulation under that canopy?

Also do you know what kind of wood was used to build the stand?

Thanks !

Yes, there is two fans in the canopy and the back of the canopy is open, so there is no moisture or heat build up inside the canopy, since it's all evacuated.

I'll put more pictures tonight to show you.

Yes, I know the kind of wood, since the stand was built by me and my father (my father is a professional woodworker) ;)

Regards,

If you want to sell something you shouldn't keep the details secret. Not sure what kind of sales strategy you are using. That would be like a person selling a car keeping the type of engine a secret until it's sold. It doesn't make much sense to me.

LOL, well there certainly aren't many builders around here.

I am in the trucking industry so picking up something like that wouldn't be too big a deal for me, or that expensive.

Hey bassman,

I was kidding there, I was actually trying to assemble all the pictures of the build process we went through for putting up the stand and canopy. I'll post pictures of it here tonight, since I'm at work and the firewall won't permit me.

But for your information, it was constructed at out real oak (massif oak) the best quality. It's not the cheap stuff, that's for sure. Several coats of varnish and polyethurane were applied. If you have more questions, don't hesitate, I was just kidding there ;)

What did you have in it?

Actually, don't know why I didn't think about it before, but you can see all my pictures on my thread on ReefCentral:

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...hreadid=744431

My tank has been up and running since the past 4-5 months, with 40-50 lbs of live rock, 3 fishes and 1 rose anemone. It's been mostly on display in my small condo. Since I'm moving in February (sooner then previously planned), I have been thinking of a much "bigger" tank for my new home. Not that I don't love my current tank ;)

Regards,
Chris

Now lowering the price to 3200$.
