OK how many of us out there have either made our own tanks or bought secondhand tanks of an odd size that you cannot get readymade hoods for at the lfs?
Well i have bought several new set ups but being a family man with limited finances i very often buy s/hand tanks without hoods and alot of the tanks i own are of odd sizes so im gonna have to make my own hoods for them........
I have done several already using marine ply screwed to a strong wooden framework but these are heavy and time consuming to build so im wondering if any of you can give me advice on a quicker lighter way to build a hood? :what:
The tank im really stumped on is my 6x2x2 or 72x24x24 tank as it must be of light construction and at the same time be quite rigid as it will have to be drilled for the filter pipes etc to run into...........any advice greatfully recieved
