Looks very nice salty

How did you get the wood to curve to the bow?

I traced out the curve of the tank, then cut 3/4 plywood for the frame and nailed panel wood to it.

How tall is that hood? I want to do something like that for my 46 bowfront. Do you have any plans drawn up that you can share? It looks very nice by the way. What kind of lighting are you gonna go with?

Thanks for the compliments. It is not that hard to do as long as you have the right tools. the hood is 11 inches high with a total weight of 8 pounds. I will try to post some sckethes, but I do not draw well. And as far as the lights I might use vho or go for the metal halides
