My DIY canopy.

[Bwlr]

This is on my 92 gallon corner tank.

The top panel is actually 3 pieces of "panel" bisquit and glued together.
The front trim is a piece of pine baseboard that I had to wet and bend, then let dry.

Wow, that looks like you got some wood working skillz! Nice.

Kudos for such a good job! What's inside the canopy?

Very nice bwlr! Can you give us an open canopy drawer picture?

Let me take a look on the HD... they're on there "somewhere".

Here's an upside down shot. The 2 CF are just 55w actinics.

I didn't have my two mogul bases mounted in there when I took the picture, but they are on either side of the reflectors pointing in.

I "was" going to run front to back, but I ran out of room. Maybe if I built a different type of base for the mogul... or maybe trim the reflectors.

Very nice! Now we need some tank pics. I am sooo greedy .

 

[Bwlr]

LOL Not at all.
I'll get some tomorrow when the lights are on.

Here's a shot with the "New" used bulbs in it. It's got dual 250w 14k.

I'm going to try and make a couple of fillers for around the doors. So, there's not that much light leak around them.
