Bump....as I am in exactly your same boat...also anyone have good "search" terms for how to change pendants to the kind with reflectors you put in my canopy...I have everything I need for good lighting just can't wrap my head around the canopy/pendant conversion...and on another note...my tank is a 75 acrylic...I notice all of these are on glass tanks and I worry my acrylic tank may not stand up to the weight and/or torque of a heavier...thoughts?
Thanks!

does anyone have a canopy modded to accomodate some halides. i have the basic 75 gal, 4 foot long tank. the canopy is basic box with access by lifting the lid up and its attached with a 4 foot long hinge on the rear. the canopy is about 8 inches tall and will be modded with 12 inch board. but with the extra inches in height, i can barely reach in the tank with 8 and definately wont like reaching in with 12. i want to keep the top lid easy access but wondering what other ideas anyone had with just front access.
