Canopy


	The tank is an All-Glass Aquarium 210 gallon reef-ready tank with Mega-flow overflows. The tank is 72”L x 24”W x 29”H. I decided to use a standard AGA stand, partly becuase the warranty is fully honored only if the tank is on the manufacturer’s stand and partly because I had no stylistic reason to build my own stand.


	1/31/2004 - The tank shortly after it was wrestled through the snow and in the back door.


	The canopy design mimics the construction of the stand. The Doors are 10” high and the top and back are open.


	2/27/2004 - The canopy frame with only the corner slats.

		The slats were notched on a table saw.

		2/28/2004 - The canopy is assembled, but not stained yet. The doors not attached, either.

			3/16/2004 - Basically complete. The inside is coated with epoxy paint and the outside is finished to match the stand. The holes on each end are for the IceCap fans.
