Can someone build me a canopy?

[jawwad2004]

Hey, was wondering if there is anyone on MR who knows how to build a canopoy? I am upgrading to a 90 gallon tank which is 48x18, and need something to house my halides in. Dont need the fanciest stuff, but something presentable since the tank is in my dining room. Thanks!

Jhale made a very nice hood. You should check out his tank thread and photos.

Lol....your icon says D.I.Y., o the irony..lol.
Do you have any of the tools you need? If so there a million threads depicting how to make one, its really easy, imagine the macho feeling you'll get when you say I made this w/ my own hands....(GRrrrufff grRR grrufff)~Tim the tool man Taylor

Hahaha, actually I just made a hood last night (emergency hood, had to house the halides somehow) but thats just for the 55 gallon. This is temporary, and plus, if I dont get it right, I'll be soo pissed, might as well get someone experienced to do it for me.

Now that you guys have your canopies done, maybe someone can help me out perhaps?

cant be that hard what you need help with?

I need help with the whole project. I have no idea what I was doing the other day when I tried to build a "nice" canopy. All that came out was a temporary box to house the halides in until the new tank comes in.
