Hey all.

Has anyone ever made a diy hood for their aquarium? I was thinking about making one since mine is really flimsy and is broken in parts. My aquarium is an odd shape, so i was wondering if anyone had any tips?

Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to Fish Profiles.
Several of our members have built hoods for their
tanks and some have spectacular results.

Try this site for hints:

I built a DIY light fixture a while back for my reef tank. If you scroll about halfway down this page you can see all of the pictures of it...

You probably won't need that many bulbs, assuming your tank isn't huge o.O

Lemme know if you've got any questions or anything I can help ya out with
