TOTW 2-15-10 Canopy build with MDF

[MyNameIsJoe]

Oh yeah. Quick update while i'm here...

The canopy stands up against moisture quite well. I don't notice any sign of warping or anything degradation of the MDF. The MDF was painted and also had a clear coat applied. Also, I live in New Mexico. It's dryer than sand out here.

I don't have heat issues at all. However, I am only running T-5's at the moment. The heat non-issue might also have to do with the fact that the back-end of the canopy is wide open. I currently do not use any fans under the hood. There is one small, 1" fan that is mounted on the light fixture to pull heat from the fixture itself (the lights are not reto-fitted).

U build minnow box out of next. Plywood the glue is non toxic interior plywood is. Just a suggestion seal ever thing with Thompson water seal. Anything oil based will not harm fish. My truck fish boxes last 5years submerge in water
