Step by step instructions....  Don't know if this is the style you want though, you may want a lid or door access.  I helped build the canopy on Danny's 55 gallon tank and it turned out nice.  The front and top lift as one section to allow better access to the tank.  If you are going with power compact florescents over the tank I would go for something like this and skip the hood:

They have acrylic legs that sit on the tank edge.

Hi and welcome to the forum.  As Marcus said, I built my own canopy for my 80 gal tank.  There is a thread titled the exact same as yours back a month or so ago in the DIY thread.

If I can help you with a design or with any design questions, just let me know.

I have not made one, but I'm sure it would be easy.  I would just use 1x2's and build a frame then encase it with oak or whatever.  SSpargur made a canopy for his tank.  You should check out his post in the DYI catagory.]]> Wed, 23 Jul 2003 21:30:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=789&PID=6100&title=diy-canopy#6100 <![CDATA[DIY Canopy : hello, i&#039;m new to this forum Has...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=789&PID=6089&title=diy-canopy#6089 Author: Guests
