Well I have not done to much with the tank. I have been trying to sell as many frags from my 75 as I can. I have my rock work done. And will start the RO unit tomorrow or the next day. And for my canopy the guy that help me move the 75 and 180 is going to teach/help me build it. We plan on starting that next weekend. Here are some pix of the rock work. Not the best pix but you get the idea. And this is about 200 lbs of all lace rock.

Have not updated in a while. The tank is up and running with water salt and lace rock. I have everything I need but my canopy and lights. I have been building it this weekend and will finish next weekend. I had ALOT of help building this and have not done that much but have been helping build it. It is almost done. All we need to do is cut the doors and put them on and then stain it black. I will take pix of the tank later. Pretty much the same though. I did have to empty it and level it but that was not to big of a deal. Here are some pix of my canopy. It will have four doors. Two on each hole. And there is a piano hinge so I can either just open the doors to feed the fish or open the whole front to get in the tank. Pretty nice.

I am stainning my canopy today. Should have all my lights next weekend. So I would say I should be able to start moving things from my 75 in about 2-3 weeks. Here are some pix of the canopy. Still need a few coats and need to paint the inside white and put the doors back on.

Here are some updates. I added some rock from my 75 to seed the lace rock. Should be ready in a few weeks. Canopy is done. Just need the lights. Should be here next weekend. And changed the rockwork since the last pix. I had to empty it and put shims under the stand it level it.

nice work - I would like to a similar piano hinge style canopy on my 180 eventually. I can't tell, does it have some sort of hydrolic to keep it open?
When I open it it opens all the way and sits on the top of the canopy.
