The canopy and the stand both will be curved to match the tank. So that it looks like a bow front tank/stand/canopy shrunk down (Which is what it will be).

OK, can I use words like "stupid", "moronic" and "idiot" in Margaritaville or will it cross the line?

I would not get the 2*18 kit for that tank,.. I think you need more than that.
