i think you shouldnt build a canopy it looks great the way it is. ive got a cube too but not as big as yours. im kinda jealous. but i couldnt go that big. everything looks great. that must be quite some view looking at that in the room. cant wait to see more. keep up the great work.

Thanks Boomboy.... If I had to guess what the materials cost it would likely be around $200.00.. I had most of the materials in the shop (left overs from other jobs) .. I own a renovation company. I think I agree with the no canopy idea.

Here are pictures of some of the new additions since the last update. Everything seems to be progressing very well with lots of growth. Any comments or advice on the photography are appreciated... I am still trying to figure out the new camera

The only advice I have for the photography is "come over and take pictures of my stuff."

Looking pretty good there!!

Thanks Doug... the candycane actually looks great in person but I could not get the color to come out right...

This is a great looking tank! I agree that no top is just fine on this one.

Just throwing this out there, but you could do some kind of "floating" canopy. I find that shorter length tanks look top heavy(to me) with a canopy sitting on the rim of the tank, so I did a "floating" canopy over a frag tank that I had running, before I moved.

That looks cool Doug... but for me a canopy would only be used to hide the lights and wires so a floating canopy would not solve those issues. I think I will likely be to lazy and leave it the way it is.

Thanks for the comments guys.
