i basicly built mine the same way-a little more fancier out of mahogany-but i made it with one double hinged door and two pull out shelves for the lights-fairly easy-if you can build a box you can build a canopy

Do you recall mine from when you were here? I just have a 'crown' on top of my tank. I can pull it off the tank in a second, it doesnt trap heat, it hides all the crap going in and out of the tank and it was very inexpensive and simple to build.

I figure a few sheets of aluminum and some velcro should do the trick.

this is my open top canopy :-D







It was pretty simple to build. Great access on either side with swinging doors. My light actually sits on top of the canopy about 4 inches so there is a gap. I like it this way so that there is plenty of ventilation and I don't cook the tank. You can easily modify this so that your light is housed inside of it, or sit your light right on top of it with no gaps.
