Very cool. Might have to look in to that. I might be doing a project for a popular reefer here in Calgary. He was wanting something similar, a canopy that he could get completely out of the way as he is constantly taking pictures inside the tank. I was thinking of using hydraulic lifts, like you would use for car hatchbacks.

i like that canopy. Very simple yet functional. Could be hung like a pendant too if needed.

I wasnt to thrilled the way most diy canopies look. To me they make the tank look top heavy. Especially on a smaller tank. I rent, so punching holes in the ceiling wasnt an option. I wanted something clean, simple and modern looking so thats what I banged together. Yup I suppose one could hang it if they wanted. Lots of ideas in this head of mine...cmon people...test me.
