Let's see those hoods!

I'm planning on building a top canopy for my reef to enclose my lighting and make it look good, just looking for some ideas and inspiration along the way! Post with pics!

My canopy has 5 removable glass panels and a matching cabinet pelmet.

The 2 pouches are odour neutralisers and I have 2 cloths temporarily at either corner to stop jumpers. This is until I install some removable Perspex to cover them.

Here you go! The canopy came with my tank, but my son installed the brackets for the light fixture.

Front view (lighting is terrible this time of day):

Top left from above open with my light mounted inside:

Top middle from above open:

Has anyone ever been able to do a combination of these two? Where it has the lighting hid in the wood work and it's supported by arms protruding from the rear of the tank? I'll draw out what I was pondering and post it.
