Here's a couple of pics of my old 29 gallon setup.The hood was about 8"-10" in tall.It had 2 x 175 mh and 4 x 32watt over driven pcs.It aslo had ,as you can see in the pics,4 120mm fans for cooling.The front of the canopy swung up for access,very little I might add.I usually just slid the canopy backward if I needed access to the tank.It was constructed out of 1"x2" lumber for the frame and covered with wainscott and trim.If you need any more info just let me know.

alpine, do you have any pics of the canopy open, or of how you've got the lights installed? I'm going to be building a canopy for my 29 sometime in the future, and am accumulating all the good idea's I can for when that time comes, and your's looks very interesting!

Sorry 20 20
But I lost all my build up pics when my laptop crashed several months back.I had these only because I had them on my bedroom computer.
