I was a busy beaver today.... Built a canopy for my MH today. Still needs to be painted (probably black).. but I like how it turned out..

Other than the label why paint black? That size of a board is getting harder to find all of the time.

Oh yeah, nice tank!

Any details on how you built the canopy? How is it supported over the tank?

I got alot of stuff around the tank that has black or black trim... speakers, my FW tank, etc... Just figured it would look better if it matched.. haha I've been finding this size board at HD for awhile, always plenty of stock..

There is a set of rails inside the panels that rest on the frame of the tank. They are positioned high enough up that when placed on the tank, the face panels cover the black frame on the tank, the MH plate then just spans the width of the canopy and rests on top... However I am looking to add a set of hinges to the MH plate so that I can lift the light up instead of completely moving off to the side or the floor when changing water or feeding etc..

Finally got a good shot of my Porcelain Crab... I rarely see him in any detail, and he fancied coming out closer to the front of the tank this evening...
