    Default New hood is coming along nicely.

    Well it's almost complete. I have the hood done, but waiting to buy my 250W MH before I mount all of the lights and controllers in it.
    I cant wait to get the 250, then I can buy my LR and get it going.

    Notice that it slides out toward the front of the tank to allow access to the overflow, return and Powerheads. I just got lucky and designed it that way before I realized that it worked out nicely and would do this.

    Pics below.

    OH. NO coments on the OLD fake coral junk in my tank. It's just there for storage right now. ;-)

    Hey That looks pretty nice. Where did you find that molding that is along the base of the hood? Keep up the good work.

    Henry - You can find molding like that and several other designs at Home Depot and Lowes. All kinds of stuff you can use to make a simple stand or canopy look a little nicer. I used some molding around my stand and canopy to give it a better look and it helps cover the trim of the tank as well.
