Does anyone have pictures of a canopy they built? With radions setting in the top? I think I want to try to build one

Is this a standard rimmed tank?

Yes, with over flow on the back. Doesnt effect anything though

I built one for my 180, originally I had ai sols but i changed the to xr30 gen 4 pros recently. I made the doors stained glass, if you want light blocking you could use solid wood doors. My lights are higher than most and i run them currently at 75% and will try going a little higher, i matched the sols par numbers as close as possible to start.
Ill post a build thread.

Not much to this one, built for under $50 though.

Here is my step by step DIY hinged floating canopy. Obviously u can adjust the bracket wood to fit whatever lighting you are trying to implement.
