Thanks!

You're welcome!

When I sold aquarium set-ups, I'd often get customers who
inherited a tank (just the glass), and they wanted to buy
everything
else. I explained that there were 4 cost drivers, and the order
(from
most expensive to least expensive, over the 1st year) was usually:

1. equipment (canopy, lights, filters etc)
2. decorations, plants, fish, and their maintenance (foods, water
treatment etc).
3. stand
4. tank (!)

Economically, you're usually much better off with existing
equipment,
stands and fish, and just buying a tank, than doing the reverse,
but
emotionally, people rarely buy a tank to put under that spare
heater ;~),
so tanks drive the industry. I'd have to design the canopy for
existing
tanks, for hobbyists who were being successful and wanted to take
it to
another level.
