Floating canopy is good for now.. I might do a cable from the ceiling but that will be later! I gotta get the rest of this thing done! Replaced the black extruded aluminum with 1” clear acrylic.. looks way better in person but picking up light in the pics.. oh well! Lol

Looks nice but I do not envy having to move it to work on the tank when needed.

Yeah I know… I got 10” of height and it’s narrow compared to the tank so it’s not bad! I can reach in and do what I need without it being in the way..

It’s just 3/4” plywood and three 2x4 horseshoes if that makes since.. like a staple on both ends and in the center.. no other framing

See I new you had a thread, lol. We‘ll see how long it takes for @crusso1993 to start spamming music videos. Also nice HB Tang. Planning on a giant slimer forest?

Been in on this one from the beginning. (Actually, from before the beginning of this build thread.)

Also forgot to mention. I love your canopy!
Thank you! It came out really clean! My house is a trip haha! Me and momma bought it last year and it’s mostly rustic like white wash wood etc.. then we got a few modern looking things to break it all up! It works thou and looks amazing.. I even painted my pool table to match my house. It’s more of a decoration as it never gets used! Whoops! Lol
