Canopy or No Canopy - Page 2

thanks frankie. mounted the lights in the canopy and brainstormed a way to have a strip of 12 - 2" fans along the back for heat. been thinking all day about plumbing also which i'll be working on soon. i'm pretty excited about this tank - may just have to start a build thread.

I couldn't vote either way, because, i think it depends on what the type/size of the tank.

I like the canopy, we sit eye level to the display so the lighting would be really nasty, if a door is open its blinding

I was topless for years and liked it. With my recent upgrade, I went with a canopy. It is now Anti-jump proof so I can keep fish that I could never have before.
