Well after a hard days work my canopy is complete. Although i do still need to sand and stain, But that won't change want you see too much. I made the stand over a month ago. I'm still gonna wait till i fit it over my tank till i get some more metal halide

Nice job!

One suggestion that I would make if it's at all possible...

If you can remove the sides and flip them over so that the fan holes are lower towards the water you will find a HUGE difference in cooling. The idea is to not cool the bulbs but the air beneath them. I did that with my canopy and I was able to reduce temperature by more than 2 degrees after I changed it around!

Good luck,

Rob

Thanks for the suggestion, But i'll leave it as is unless i notice a larger temp increase when i add more. Then i'll give the other way a try won't be to hard to dismantel
