PS the only metal in the hood are the six solid brass hinges across the top
everything else is glue and dowel.

Very nice. That turned out even better than you described. That will be a great setup

[manny]

Pretty slick. Looks really nice!!!

[R.Allard]

Thanks everyone !
Reefer it would probably be arround 140-150 somewhere in that range.
and you would have to stain and clearcoat yourself.
i had about 140.00 in material alone for this hood

Im going to run 2)250w 10K ushios and 2)250w 20K XMs all with
E-ballasts and new reflectors.
i already have the moonlights and am going to be running 4) 6in
muffin fans on a 1500 MA 12v ballast run through a adjustable poteniometer so i can slow all four fans down to the same speed.
Why you ask??? so i dont get all that whirrrr fan noise!!! if there all moving the same speed you get one tone not four.

How much did all that wood cost?

[R.Allard]

about 140 but i have enough to do my sons hood also.
i just bought all sraight stock 8ft long and made all the pieces myself

[Yano]

So how much would it cost do you think for some wood for a 10 gallon? Not that much I would think.

[R.Allard]

probably 50.00 or so.
how tall and i need the dementions another thing i need to let everyone know is that i wont be able to start on any hoods,stands ,etc till after
the end of feb... i am swamped and have been working till 8 30 and 9 00 pm. with christmas comming its only gonna get worse so if anyone needs anything i can take orders but just knopw it will be awhile before i can get to it.
