So I have been in and out of the hobby. I have been on a 8 year breakā€¦.šŸ˜‚ as I broke down my 120 Oceanic tec tank(also a custom build) before my daughter was born. I knew I would get back into it so that tank is in my basement but have been thinking start small. I know how the hobby is and always graduate to a bigger tankā€¦ So a few weeks ago I had someone give me an IM40ā€¦. I knew from my last setup I wanted the stand to be taller and also wanted a canopy for the light to be contained to the tank given the fact the tank is in the kitchen. I built the stand in a day and the canopy the next. Because I just got done with some renovations I had all my tools out ready to go. I have about $80 in the plywood and hingesā€¦. Hope you guys like. Still need to paint the hinges Grey.
