First of all, here's your broken link corrected: http://www.albuspuer.com/jessecanopy.jpg

Thx!

Second of all, WHAT A COOL TANK!

Thx again! I am pleased with it too... long standing dream.

Is the stand open in the back at all, and if not, could it be?

So the answer is no, there are no vents, and I don't really want put
holes in what is currently the back because it will one day (oh how I
hope it will be soon) be in the straw-bale construction house I am
designing - this was designed as a semi wall between the bedrooms and
the sitting room.

If not, would you consider adding a vent fan like you having your
bathroom ceiling? Put it in the wall behind the tank, and using
ductwork, suck the heat out of the stand.

This is brilliant. I don't own the house I am in or I would, BUT, it
has me thinking about putting a 6" duct fan in the end of the stand
opposite the bullnose and just venting it down and out into the room.

Or up above the tank (next floor/attic)?

Yes, I think I will do this immediatly. Many thanks for the feedback
and ideas.
Off to ponder...
