Need pictures of your Hood!


Need some pictures of your hood, store bought or budget build. I really do not care. I am starting the hood build in the morning and was wanting to get some ideas of why you got what you got or why you built what you built!

Also if you built yours, what would you change if anything if you had to do it again.

I mounted my lights on a separate aluminum frame that is under the hood. For me, it was important to be able to remove the canopy without having to disconnect any wiring. I can work on the tank with the lights still on and the frame is hinged so I can push it up if I need to move anything big around. the pics are old but it hasn't changed much.


Tank with the canopy off and just the light frame.




Tank with canopy installed. The pic was taken before the lights were installed but it looks the same. No mods were needed to fit the light frame under the canopy.
