The black one has a sliding lid on top and the big tank has a hinged lid that sits inside. I didn't do anything fancy with it because it's about 7ft tall so you can see it anyways. Lol the fx6 is just sitting in one of the return holes as the sump has 2 returns and it's not cycled yet. The fx6 has been on there for almost 3 weeks with the sump, so it shouldn't be much longer until it comes off.Looks really good! Some well thought out trim really hides some imperfections and makes the stand look professional.
How does your canopy open?
Also, could you post some details or more pictures of the filtration setup? Looks like there's a large sump/refugium under the tank and an FX5? to the side of it?
