Floating canopy installation for larger tanks

I was curious who here has done a floating canopy installation for their large reef tanks? Ive looked around the forums a bit, and many of the write ups I am seeing are for suspending much smaller canopies(i.e. less weight), or installing light lifts in non visible locations(i.e. not pretty). What I want to do is install a nice looking large floating canopy(72" L x 33" D x 20" H) in a living room. Ive looked around a bit, and one idea I am kicking around is getting an aluminum frame from somewhere like 8020 or eztube, and skinning it with some thin wood veneer. That still leaves the question of how I will suspend it, and raise and lower it at will.

Anyone have some thoughts on this? Anyone have any pictures? So many of the old threads are picture-less after the photobucket change =\

Thanks,
Jesse
