    Default 46 gallon bowfront canopy

    I have been commissioned to build a simple canopy for a 46 gallon bowfront tank. I thought it would be nice to post a build thread as it comes together.

    Here is the design I am working toward. It will match the factory stand and have a semigloss black exterior. the entire front door will open upward.





    more pics to come as it comes together...

    hardest part of the canopy is assembled - now the glue has to dry overnight.
