Here's mine, I didn't build it, just gave the specks to someone much more talented than me...It's 18" tall made from oak veneer and solid oak trim...

And a shot inside...I painted the inside with a metalic silver paint then sealed it (I stained the outside with a natural oak stain and sealed it with a mat finish sealer). I have two Iwasaki 400w, two super actinic VHO and LED moon lights. Icecap fans on both side move air in and out...

Steve68: I'm curious about what you used for the interior of the canopy? Is it simply paint or something else?

Thanks....nice job with your reef tank!
