Thanks, but I can't take all the credit. You see I have tools and the skill but I lack in the patiance department so I have my wife do all the trim. I can do the trim but I get mad when its wrong and just brake the piece I was working with and after about 5 or 6 useless sticks of trim I just made the prject more costly, so I could get the same result just make it cost twice as much. She also helped me with the stain. When we were done with the stand I went out and bought her a pink hammer and told her she was a wood working girl nmow and she needed to get a job as a construction worker so I could stay at home with the kids all day. She also gets some credit in the financial department because without her ok I wouldent have been able to get all this stuff brand new. Thanks a lot for all the kind words I'm so happy to see this project in the final stages. And a lot of time and money has been put into it so it nice that others are able to appreciate it.

Alright drank a little to much to keep going but here's what I did tonight.
Just a frame nothing to right home about. I will be finishing it tomorw and posting the pics when I'm done, got a few pics of the fish too.
Was letting me get up close and personal.
Only decent shot the pearsei were giving up tonight.
I really like being able to se this tank from the top and front it puts a new twist on aquascaping. This will look really good as it grows out (I hope).
Anyway I plant on finishing the canopy tomorow and I will keep updating along the way. Thanks for looking and sorry for the bad pics.

Alright so a I little update on what I got finished this last weekend.
This is the unstained canopy, just put it on to make sure it fit.
There it is stained but its a bad pic will post a better one this afternoon.
I couldent figure out what to do for lighting on this so my brother in law and I went to the hardware store and came up with this.
We mounted the balast on the wrong side so I can't open the glass tops whoops gotta put that on the other side later and I also need to tidy up the wireing. I'm going to use spray glue and attach aluminum foil to the underside of the top as a reflector.... will post more later on thanks for looking.
