DIY Canopy FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THE UPSIDE DOWN L

bueller · 10-25-2006, 07:46 PM

Hey,

was messing with sketch up [Love the program]and put together a rough sketch of the upside L front opening. A few people chimed in on my thread and liked the designed. So here's a rough idea for you to try Yourself For your Canopy.

This top is geared for a 55 gallon. Also Adjust height to your desire.

bueller- you just gave me a great idea. currently my canopy is just like the one in pics 1 and 2. i could just rotate it to the back and add the L piece. thanks

Mirrors are not the best reflectors, but they're better than wood

MOIDOL · 10-26-2006, 03:43 PM

they call it stainless steel mirror reflector, It's all steel thicker reflects better then the regular reflector...the down side more weight

Thanks Moidol. That is a good idea. I will try to do that.
