Well i decided to re-do the lid so it sat flush, so I did a second base coat to the whole canopy. I will be painting the top coat baby blue as soon as the base it dry. now its off to the hardware store for some hinges.

Ta-Da!


Well it took me a major portion of my sprinf break, but it was worth it!!!

It didn't come out perfect, but it makes me proud. (not bad for scrap wood)
Now it looks like it needs a matching base.

I also added a few pictures of some new frags:
GSP on the fitler intake.
Red zoa's that are finally colloring back up since being stung by my BTA.
A blue mushroom that was a hitchhiker on a richordia I got for my main tank.
