TestimonialThe blue "nightlight" settings on the Marineland LED light fixture is stunning.  It gives off a deep blue light that shimmers.  A very efficient, cool to the touch fixture that completely changes the look of your tank at the flick of a switch.  An outstanding product that works well for those fish that are sensitive to bright light.The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site Go to Amazon.ca's Home Page Here is a plan for constructing a Basic DIY Aquarium Canopy. You can use plywood (1/2" or 5/8" treated works best) T-111 as in Jordy's 300g Reef Tank, or any other wood (oak, birch or maple skinned plywood looks great) you like.

Plywood sheets are 4' wide, so if your tank is 48" wide (like your basic 55g tank), you can save yourself a few saw cuts during construction. Darryl Craig's 180g Reef Tank is an example of what your canopy could look like with a little work and not much money.

Graphic by Stan Hauter Make a sketch of your new canopy.

Measure the outside distances of the top of your tank, side to side, front to back. You will probably want the front panel to run the entire width of the canopy, with the side pieces inside the front and back panels (see "exploded" view above). Determine how high your canopy will be. Take into consideration how high off the water your lighting will be. How are you going to access the tank for feeding and maintenance? Measure and cut the wood to the dimensions determined above. Check to make sure that the front and rear cabinet panels are the right length.Should be the exact width of the outside of the tank.Check to make sure that the end panel lengths are correct.Should be the exact depth (front to back) of the tank, minus the thickness of the front and rear panels. Lay the side panels down on a clean, flat surface.Measure for the bracket placements, marking with a pencil.

On this canopy design, this also secures the canopy on top of the tank.It is usually easier to paint or stain the trim prior to installing on the cabinet.Install vents, as needed.Install fans as needed. Your new canopy is ready to install on your tank. Make sure that the lights are not plugged in when doing this to prevent an electrical shock. DIY Basic Canopy Front Door Access. Another option for accessing your tank through your canopy is through the front, via a door which hinges at the top. This gives you excellent access to both your lighting fixtures and the tank itself. The following is more easily done before the cabinet panels are assembled. Measure and cut the piece of plywood (or solid wood) for your door.Place the door on top of the canopy front panel.Make sure that you will have enough room for your hinges at the top.With a pencil, draw a line around the door DIY Canopy With Front Hinged Door. Placing the door on the front of the Canopy makes sense for most aquarists.

By hinging the door at the top, the door can be easily opened (just flip it up) for access to the tank and lighting fixtures. If the hinge plates are embedded in the door and lid materials, the door will close tightly, allowing almost no distracting light leakage.
