I got a cheap nicrew led for now. I will probably need to add another since the tand is 30 wide. I'm still debating the canopy. Maintenance on my current 75g with canopy is difficult, and with the tank being 30 wide this one will be even harder.

Done. Need to move the other tank out.
Thanks! Both of the stands in the photo are the same design. This time around though I had a lot of shrinkage in the wood paneling. I didn't think about this when I put the paneling on. They are cheap fence boards and were wet. When they dried that shrank by quite a bit. So if you do try this design, dry the boards out first.
Beautiful setup. Very good craftsmanship on that tank. Stand is unique as well. As for warping, the same thing occurred when I did a live edge table. The wood still had a bit of moisture in it after drying outside for almost 2 years and inside for a week before use. It was a 5” thick slab of maple. When I put the varnish on top it warped a little and you could see cracks/stress lines throughout. Didn’t take much to fix in terms of cost, just hours of sanding
Going to add a bunch of Anubias, but here is the finished product for now.
