New Tank Question

Just finished the stand for my new 66gal reef. I framed it out of 2x4
and covered it with 1/2" oak plywood. It looks great and is very
solid. I put 5 coats of verathane on the inside and 3 on the outside.
I am building the canopy now, and was looking for suggestions on what
to put on the wood to seal it... I will be running 4 48" VHOs over
this, re-using the Icecap 660 I already have.

Hi Xerces:

I'm assuming you're talking about is sealing the inside surfaces of the
hood. When I finished my hood, I used paint used for painting fiberglass.
I picked it up at a boating store. Choose a nice bright white for maximum
reflectivity, so that more light will reach your critters.
