Canopy in progress

Posted 02/15/2013 at 07:38 AM by Avonlea,PA (My Journey into Reefkeeping)

I've begun working on the canopy for the tank. I was going to wait a bit, but then realised I could do it using some scrap plywood and one new sheet.

I now have a dedicated 15 amp circuit behind where the stand will be, as well as a shared 15 amp circuit ( the new circuit is the one with the 4 outlets in the pic below).
