Thanks Stinga, much appreciated. Well here's the moment you've been waiting for, da da da da, ha ha just kidding. The canopy is finito, on the tank and waiting for the timers to turn it on tomorrow. It reflects waaaay more light than my old canopy did. I only had a 12" reflector on the old one, this one is 36" long. I have to pick up a 12v power converter for the fans to run (I coulda swore I have one somewhere in my garage) but thats just a matter of tie the wires and plug it in. On another note, found out today just how much a 250w halide will melt the center brace on the tank. Lots. So far the front has bowed out 1/4". If it stays there I'll cut out the brace and chance it, any more and I'm going to have to do something about this. Here's the pictures.
