Hoods

Most beginning aquarists are content with using the everyday Perfecto hood or no hood at all. However, as interest grows and you want to keep live plants or invertebrates, the need for a high quality hood and lighting system is greatly accented. - [Details]

Cichlid-Forum.com - Being cheap by nature, I found it was much less expensive to purchase bare tanks rather than complete setups (tank, lights, hood). However, I still needed an inexpensive tank cover that would allow enough light to penetrate for good plant growth and be easily customized to allow cut outs for heater, filters and other equipment. - [Details]

Here's my hood that I made out of 1/2" PVC pipe and plastic rain gutters. The hood can hold up to four full length bulbs and the bulb connections are all water proof (safe from splash but maybe not submersion). - [Details]

The canopy that I decided to construct for the tank was open topped to allow for good ventilation, ease of access to all areas and a front door that swings open and is fully removable without too much trouble. The below diagram shows the general lay out and the major dimensions. The reason for the small shelf along the back side of the tank was to accomodate the pumps for the water circulation system. The outlets for this was also attached to the canopy. - [Details]
