I'm going to be constructing my custom canopy within the next week or two, but my main question is the back of the canopy, should I just not put a back on it or leave parts open for my add-ons? I'm going to be having a HOB protein skimmer and I think its going to be getting in the way, also do I cut out notches for this and light cords or should I just leave the back up ended or just make the back of it smaller? This is a major stop for me and I'm not sure on how to go about it doing it. Should I figure out a new way to do the back of the canopy or do I need to find a new skimmer? I don't want to go to a sump/fuge unless its a necessary.
