I started making it last night. I'll post pics here soon, has a round front like the tank itself. I hope it will look good when im done.

pics on myspace, reef central wont take them.. to big i guess.

www.myspace.com/jakefaltynowski just view my album, and youll see the canopy there, I have my old canopy on top of it untill I get the lights for it.

why...........

[ctaylor76]

why not??? the black one is so dull, and the light i think is too close to the water. Plus im trying to add a 70 watt retro to it without having to add a chiller, hints I needed to raise up the canopy. I can build this and buy a retro for half the cost of a BC29 4.36 kit.

I think you are off to a nice start. Did you do the carving or someone else do it for you? I have given this some thought as I am on my third hood from Oceanic. I don't know why but mine keep warping and not fitting the tank right. I don't have any light upgrads so heat isn't the reason.

Anyway it looks good.:)

Hey thanks 2_zoa. Sent ya a PM m8.

why not just get a sunpod or something and be done with the crappy stock hood for good?Buy a sunpod and save the trouble.Just my 2 cents

I think some people are missing the point, its just looks good is all. Better than a square light ( sunpod ) on top of a rounded tank. Does sunpod look bad? no, but I like to make things anyway. Plus wood is so much nicer, and much more relaxing look.
