I'm building a canopy for my 90 gallon tank. I'll have two metal halides with spider type reflectors and two 48" long vho tubes. Can I see some pics of peoples' canopies with similar setups so I can get some ideas on how to mount everything.

Thanks!

here is an updated one.

The two long pieces of wood on either side of the MH are for VHO's.

This is form my 120.
You can do a search on canopy and I bet you will see lots.

Zack 136 Nice pic. I'm building mine now and the VHOs are too high, I think I will do what you have done to lower them. (see pics in my webshots page - little red house in post)

Thanks it did work out well. Nice pic's.
Tip. I.M.O. it is best to seal w/ a 2 part epoxy. if your hood turns out mint you'll want to keep it that way.
