Hi everyone,
I am just starting to plan out a build for an aquarium stand and I am interested in possibly attaching a canopy to the stand. I have a very elementary sketch below. Basically, the stand is going to be 22 x 13.5 x 36 and made out of 3/4” plywood. I would screw a 2x4 to the back of the stand where it would extend 24” above the top of the stand. I would then screw in another 2x4 on top that extends out 20”. I’d add construct the remaining sides of the canopy out of 3/4” plywood and hang two AI primes, and maybe two reef brites.
So, my question is will that design be strong enough to support the lights and extra plywood?
