i just bought a tank that's 48"Lx18"Hx16"W with everything included for $100CAN!! i'm very excited - what a deal! anyhow, the only thing it doesn't really come with is a hood (aside from a couple sheets of glass and a light strip).

i like my tanks to look professional and not "home-made-ish" if possible, but i'm thinking that i'm going to have to get creative to find a lid for this thing as i've never seen one that size for sale.

any suggestions for rigging up some sort of professional-looking, easy-to-deal-with hood?

thanks in advance!

Here's a link for a DIY hood. There are a couple of others on this site so you might want to look around a bit.
