I believe we accounted for the lights being 14-16" off the water surface.

? Idk what u mean sorry. Or asking?
It dosent raise or lower. I have to take the face board.off everytime i want in the tank.
Post #515 kinda shows the assembly.
The truss pieces are secured on the posts. They just.slide into.place. and are.attached with two.screws.each side.

See the two boards at the two arrows?
If they were used like I thought they were, then could have been able to rest on the ledger board on the trust, so that you had two positions. Closed (which would be normal canopy style), "Open" which would be tall enough to throw some fish food through, maybe reach something near to the edge, and Off which would be full access.
The middle position there is for the most part useless, but its what I thought I saw in the picture.

Ahhh i got what ur saying. That would have been nice.
But no i think that is just to stiffen up the truss or trust?
Maybe so the screws dont go through the wood all the way? Im not sure.
Peppie question. Lol

Alright, I have to ask, how bossy are your damsels? That's .. an awesome number of them (they're a definite favorite of mine). 
Edit: And did you start with a single Chromis or .. did it just work itself out that way (I'd have thought with that number of Four Stripe Damsels that you'd have had enough aggression in the tank to make a Chromis group work)?

Just two chromis to start with maybe 3 probably 6 or so months ago.
Id like a large pack of 20.or so but think ot would be a waste of money $$$. They will eventually dwindle down...

FWIW, I bought 5 chromis once and they all lived for years. Of the 5 I got a mated pair that would spawn regularly.

That is really.kool.mfinn!
Imo they are like anthias. Even though anthias can be found deeper. They like to.pick smaller foods out.of the water.coloum. constantly swimming. Zooplankton or.phyto foods.
Maybe ill try a large school. Idk. Right now i just wanna get what i have in top shape. Both the tank and livestock.

Well added coral. The last three fish. A shrimp. A star. Cuc. And bam lights.
Tank is up and running. Just fine tuning and dialing in the overflow and skimmer.
I will be getting the smaller pump for the skimmer.
Gonna give it a week or two so everything gets light. Than ill take it apart and stain/paint. Than back up the next day
Also need a signal input wire for my lights. I can run three but the third ends up being at full power. Jessshh.
Qt and hospital holding tanks in the garage are another thing i wanna get going.
Time or $. One or the other is my barrier right now or later.
Am i making sense?! Lol

Sounds great D. I have a question, I thought that pencil urchins weren't reef friendly.

Good question and on point!
These two urchins are some.of the more harder working ones ive had exp. With.
Yes they are omnivore and probably dont care what they eat but for the most part they stay off the coral and on the rock. Ive tried tuxedos and long spines as well. The longspine was just dangerous. Lol
The tuxedos seemed lazy.
If u look em up on liveaquaria. It says they eat sponge and other microfauna stuff that is probably beneficial to the reef. That imo is why they arent reef safe. Not gonna say they have never damaged a coral of mine. Just that they are semi reef safe imo. Like an angelfish or butterfly.
Edit. Tried two rock burrowing urchins with no luck even acclimating em.
