The angled light is a brilliant idea. Absolutely love the fore thought on this.

Show me your canopy
Here's a canopy I built for my 75.
It's all standard Home Depot pine within Java Gel Stain.
The front and top panels are completely removable held in place with a magnet.
My Hydra 26 fixtures are on 1/2" aluminum rails using brackets I designed and printed on a 3D printer. I'll have the ability to add T5 retro fixtures to more aluminum rails if I want.

Here is mine:
The lights themselves are mounted on strut attached to the back of the cabinet and then I used heavy duty drawer guides so the lights slide back and forth for maintenance. I have the lights set on a 15 degree angle and moved them close to the fronf of the tank. This makes the coral grow towards the front of the aquarium so you get a semi-top-down view of the coral as it grows out.
So jealous of your stand Mike. Was impressed when I saw it in person and still am impressed til now haha. Next tank I'll have to attempt to make a stand like yours.

That nice. Don't mind if I used it. Right. With some modifications of course.

Would love to build something like this. How did you mount it to the wall?

I prefer to have the top open to avoid condensation and trapped heat. This is what I did for my 360.
