my 90 ga surfline needs a canopy wanting to build

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i have 4 bulb vho setup i am wanting to install inside as well as a couple of metal halide retros as well. The tank is 48" x 19" x 24". I don't really want to spend $600 on a canopy
from perfecto. The contured front is the biggest problem i'm having thus far. Any ideas???
 
I just need someone to get me started off on the right foot. If anyone has ever done anything like this give me a hand. i am at a standstill because of this dammned canopy
 
I would start off by tracing the top of the tank on to what ever material you plan on using (oak ply, maple.etc).So you can get the right curve u need. what is the tank dem? 48"x18"x25?
 
48x19x24 Thanks for the info, I almost made one out of fiberglass... I have the plans drawn out but it was the front wave shape that was killing me. I think i will try the wiggle wood. This site is the best... I am really impressed with everone and the wealth of knowledge that i have already learned from going through the posts. Thanks again
