Welcome to the board ReefSOE !
I'm in the process of building a wooden canopy right now for my 75 glass tank.
I don't have any plans written up, but I hope to post some pictures of it soon. Might give you an idea or two.
Or you may say to yourself, as I am presently saying to myself, what the heck is that unusual wooden creation
As bfrink mentioned, there are a lot of DIY plans w/pics on the net.

Glad to be here,
Ill check out that site... should 1 175 metal halide an 2 VHO's be good?

Your Refugium is impressive, that 18g tub fits under a 75 stand and looks great... think im going to have to be unoriginal here an go with what works.
Got any tips ?
