A router table would be good, especially if you want to make true raised-panel doors. Also, Dewalt and Festool make a tracksaw. It's basically a circular saw designed to ride in a track for making long straight cuts. It's the best thing for working with sheet goods besides a full sized panel saw.

The next thing I want to get is a nice router and table. It'll let me go even further with my work. I nearly forgot about the tracksaw. They're definitely more purpose-built for the work than a plain-old circular saw. They also make plunge cuts easier to accomplish. I don't think I'll personally invest in a tracksaw, though, because I can pretty easily achieve the same results with a clamped down piece of 1x3 poplar.
I don't know if I've mentioned it previously in the thread, but I'd planned from day one to add rope lighting to the top of the canopy to put a nice glow on the wall and ceiling surrounding the tank. I found a deal on some LED rope lights today that I just couldn't pass up. Here's the pic!
I think it looks awesome. Makes my living room look like a night club.
The light strand is perfectly-sized at 12' long. My aquarium is 8' x 2', so it's right on the money! For 15 bucks, it makes a heck of an impact.
