Thank you! Lots of work still pending.

what are your plans for stand and canopy skin ?

Minimalistic.
Stand skin is going to be magnet mounted high gloss white doors with handle

Open top.

Actually the first pic has the doors installed, just the trims are pending and the door protective film is still on

As pointed out rightly by Justin in a post above the water line is 2" below.
It was necessary to keep the overflow that low due to the bracings.
Now I still want to bring the water level a little higher..... will partially say 1/2" blocking/ raising the overflow teeth be advisable?
Thinking of putting an acrylic strip on the back side of the teeth.
Any advice?

Its a tough call man. I thought the overflow looked a little low. You're best bet is to either raise the teeth if that is possible or create an "acrylic skin" using new black acrylic that would be weldon'd to the existing sides but to the height you want. Its going to look a little DIY but if you do it from the outside of the overflow, it will mask the original height. I'm sure others can chime in on some other suggestions.

If I weld it I will do it from inside. The teeth can easily come out and I can weld it to the inside of the detachable teeth.
Once back in place it won't be seen at all.
Definitely not doing it from outside.
