[litenyaup]

so the canopy is done and i need to get started on the stain and paint so i can have this done.....here are some pics

i also drilled the sump and tested the pump, and the hanging kit came in for my lights!!​

 

[litenyaup]

im going freaking crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i got the canopy yesterday and it is bad butt!! but the needed a little cutting, trimming to fit which i knew i was going to have to do. well after i got it to fit, i went to open the face fram and the freaking trim hit the freakin archway.....AHHHHHHH!!!!! so i have to come up with a way to cut it off and mount it to the side that does not move.

oh well. any who here are some pics of the overflow steva nd i made for my new tank, turned out awsome!!
