Thats a great idea kien, you should seal and paint the inside of the stand if its still possible.

Thanks. Takes a long time to build. Not sure if it would be economical for you.

Well it looks like the tank will be getting filled this weekend. Aquascaping with Marco rocks. And some live rock in the sump to seed the tank. I will be using 2 MP40wES powerheads. I am a little concerned with mounting the controllers in the canopy as this tank will not have glass tops.
