Hood design help me out

[mridley]

I am trying to convince the wife to allow me to have a Canopy built over my tank, she isn't too impressed with the idea at present

I am looking for good quality pictures ( to show her ), I am really after professionaly built units as I have a friend who is a carpenter who I will also need to show him what I am after. I have done various web searches but I am not really finding much, anyone point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

Here is one that I made a while back:





This one is unique as it has places in the top for some HQI pendents:



Maybe some of these will help.

Good luck!

mridley,
I have been doing research for a good diy hood also..... and so far the one that scuba posted has been the best

The only putback to that one is that there isn't a list of supplies, or specific measurements
Good Luck!~
