[WarDaddy]

Here it is...

From the left

From the Right

Front doors open

Front totally opened

Look at that easy access. 8 inches from lights to water.

And the lights

Damn, nice! Not too many people appreciate DIY work I guess? I know how sweet it is when you build your own stuff!

Whoot for WarDaddy!

 

[WarDaddy]

Oh... I have to build the side panels still. They will completely close in the space behind the tank, hopeully making it look like a large cabniet with a sweet tank in it.

So there is only going to be the front panel for viewing?

Thats an awesome stand canopy....Nice job

It looks great Bryan, good work. If I show my wife, she'll want you to redo my POS canopy.

What he means is that the tank sits a few inches from the wall. He will build covers for that area, running from top to bottom on each side, so you don't see the magic behind the tank, just the three sides.

At least I think that's what he meant

No, it will be 3 sided. The Panels will cover from the back of the tank to the wall, hading the Refuge, top off tank, wiring and plumbing. Nice and clean, that is the theory at least.

here is a pic of the right side.

That has the old temp canopy on it. But you can see the refuge sitting behind the main. I want to hide that ugliness.

Bryan,

Nice job, the canopy looks good!
I really like the side doors, they should really help with access.

BTW-Thanks for coming over and helping out with the tank move.

Barring any foul-ups with the delivery, I should receive my live rock on Monday.
