Just working on mounting the lights and fans. Going far slower than planned, but the tanks still cycling so there is no hurry.

My first canopy.... not to sure yet how i feel about them as i am starting to think heat is going to be a major issue. Mostly due to the lights i have..

Dont say no to the canopy!
The canopy was the nicest part of James tank. It pulls the whole clean steel front look together.

tis not going anywhere yet. as you said it looks too nice to get rid off. i am just hoping its not a heat trap with the lights. but i am hoping my cooling system should due the trick. fully automated with temp probs and four 12cm fans.
