Default Canopy

Pretty much got the canopy completed here are a few pics of what I did.

This is where its going



Couple of the shell





Being that this is a sealed unit I needed a way to be able to service the light. So I used drawer slides to mount a piece of wood to that the light will be attached.





Sealed unit requires some venting and fans. The fans are connected to a timer and comes on with halides. Keeps the tank at a cosistant 27-28 deg. They produce very little noise, can't even hear them really.









Some pics of the completed unit. Each side opens for access to the tank and the light pulls out enough to change the bulbs or clean. It also could be removed very easy if need be.











I still have to enclose the back side to wall - maybe this weekend.
