![]() Hello, I am thinking of building a aquarium hood and was wondering if anybody is using a hood with eco-tech Radion lights? The reason I was thinking of building the hood is for two reasons. The first reason is to reduce the noise from the aquarium in the second reason is because I have lost a few fish who have jumped out of the aquarium. My aquarium dimensions are 7' x 2' x 2'. Here are 2 semi recent pictures of my aquarium and stand. I was thinking of getting rid of the ligh rails and mounting the lights directly on the bottom side of the hood. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

![]() This is what I did. Parts from Home Depot in the electrical dept. Cheap, easy to set up and works very well. I have 2 tanks with canopies now using these.

![]() Just be sure to vent the canopies, and preferably mount the power supplies outside. I've had mine running this way for almost 2 years now, with zero problems.

![]() I was thinking of using 2 hard drive fans. One at each end of the aquarium mounted on the outside of the backside of the hood.
