I've currently been working on setting up a 90 gallon tank (48"x18"x24"). Plans are eventually for it to be a reef, but I'm purposely going slow as this is my first saltwater tank.
My basic setup right now is a Remora Pro skimmer with a Mag3, a Eheim 2026 Prof II Canister that I am planning to take all the media out and just run Chemipure, a DSB, about 50lbs of LR, a Yellow Tang, two yellow-tailed damsels, a cleaner shrimp, 5 turbo snails, and 2 fighting conch. My lighting is current just two NO 48" bulbs.
I am planning my lighting upgrade right now. I have decided to go with 2 x 250w 10000k Metal Halides combined with 2 x 110W VHO Super Actinics. I am looking at getting PFO lighting. I will either go with their hood which is ready to go and just needs to be placed on top of the tank (its 12" wide so I would still have room for feeding etc.) or go with their retrofit kit and build a canopy.
Here is the problem. I'm living in an apartment and it isn't possible for me to build a canopy in it. I also would want the canopy to look good as the tank is in our living room and is a bit of a show piece (or hopefully will be one day...). I was thinking of drawing up some rough plans and taking them to a cabinet maker in London and see what we could come up with.
Does anyone know of someone in London who is good and could design and build a nice canopy? Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanx in advance.
