Hey i will take pics of mine 2night. Its going to run you 35-40$ in supplies. But for my 75gallon i had some spare wood so it might be enough to make a 110 gal canopy.
you will need
2 hinges
2 locking in place hinge (1 left and 1 right)
2 6foot 1x6 high grade wood plank (makes the sides of the canopy (can use 1x8 or 1x10 to make taller)
1 6foot 1x4 wood plank, desent have to be nice. it will be in back. (makes back brace and bracket to hold tank)
1 10foot 1x10 high grade wood plank (to make top)
Thing is you need to know what kind of clearance you need for your lights. Also make sure you measure the border plastic of your tank for clearance and not the glass.
When i post the pics you will understand. Building it this way means less wood to cut.
