LOL Hope you didn't lose too much joe
My first and immediate thought was that they were speakers. But after looking at other pics and not seeing the receiver, I then thought they were pedestals.
Hope I don't make you lose any sleep over it

Well, in my excitement to receive the doors yesterday, I didn’t even notice that they didn’t send the Euro hinges that were supposed to come with the door.
I went out to HD to find some, but the brand they carry there has a slightly different placement of the bore. Looks like another delay.
Oh well, in the name of moving ahead, I just put the upper doors on. I’m very, very happy. I found these hinges on some RV parts website, and they are exactly what I needed.

that is absolutely gorgeous. congratulations!
have you considered painting the inside of the canopy with a coat of white-pigmented shellac -- the real alcohol-based stuff, not the fake stuff they sell. obviously you'd have to remove the canopy when you apply it -- no one likes drunky fish -- but it cures in less than an hour and would increase and diffuse the light somewhat.

I thought about it....but I consider the tank a fish tank with plants, not a planted tank with a few fish (no co2, light ferts). So the maximum amount of light is not what I am looking for. I actually try to balance the light exposure just enough to grow plants, but not enough to produce much algae.
As for the inside, it's got 7 coats of poly...everywhere...and I mean everywhere. Hopefully it will hold up, only time will tell.
