Mixed 500 gal. A.G.E. build. 12 unit LED Radion lights.

Plan looks great and can't wait to see some pics of the lights on this tank! I'm no so sure I'm confident on buying the Radions for a 30 inch tank that I'm planning based on reviews I'm seeing. Seems based on the reviews that your tank will do great with 24 inches of depth. Did not get to Premium Aquatics last weekend because of delivery of my little niece on Saturday I've got to make it over tomorrow!

[david00061]

I didn't build it. All I have is the pics that I posted on here. He came over with a tape measure and came back a week later with the canopy.

This is it without the doors and top. The back sets right on the back of tank. On the front there is a board that sets on the tank so that I have a lip that covers 1/2 of the tank rim

It looks like just dovetails and glue, and wood screws. I wasn't there when he built it. I posted all the pics he took for me.

Eagerly awaiting pics after you get the lights up so I can see fts!

I think by the pictures he used a Kreg Jig, you might want to ask him. They are nice little set ups. Very strong hold.

Lights will mount to aluminum plate. Aluminum Plate will hang in canopy.

I dont know what they were. I do know it is a nice canopy

Looking great David and sure you are excited to get those up and lit! I'm not a pro with aluminum and know it does not 'rust' but can rather produce aluminum oxide. Did you happen to bring up the corrosion concern?

In regards to the canopy, they are pocket holes and would expect the cabinet maker has a better jig than the Kreg Jig kit. I have that plastic kit but I'm just a beginner
