Below are photo's of the parts for the stand. It is similar to the canopy in that has a inner frame which is actually the stand holding the tank. The back panel is a cabinet with 2 doors. One on each side. This will house the power bars for the pumps and other devices. It will also house the power supply's for the LED's. Behind the front door of the Stand will be the controller and modules. There are two doors on each side to gain access under the stand.

Here are some more photo's with the canopy assembled and the side panels stained. If you look inside at the bottom inner frame you can see that it slopes down towad the inside of the tank. Also in a photo of the back you can see where the power and control signals enter the canopy. The power is 12 volts and 24 volts. The 12 volts is for the RGBW, UV, Dark Red and lime LED's.

Two of the photo's below show the canopy with inner frame, side panel assembles, top outer frame and bottom outer frame after they were glued. The top outer frame bottom outer frame and side panel can be removed from the inner frame assembly if needed. The other two photo's are of the top outer frame and lid stained ready to install on the inner frame and side panels.
The last major parts of the canopy are in the photo's below. The top lid is used for access to the LED's and electronics in the canopy. No access to the tank through the lid. The top outer frame holds the top of the side panels and the top lid is mounted to this frame. This frame is attached to the inner frame. The bottom frame assembly is attached to the bottom of the side panels and is also used to hold the bottom of the side panels against the inner frame.
Photo's of the finished inner frame assembly are below. It just needs final painting. The pocket holes in the shape of a V are for mounting the side panels to the frame.
