jjharrisx4 Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Just wanted to show a pic of my new canopy. I made this from scrap pieces of pine baseboard that I bought for my house. Not too bad. Now I just need more light so I can add some corals! Link to comment
Metznreef Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 very nice. i wish i could make stuff. it would save me a whole lot of money. Link to comment
HuBu Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 that really looks nice. man i cant wait to start building the canopy for the 29 gal tank. this one company wants to charge me $140 for a pine canopy, $180 for an oak canopy. guess what i told them... Link to comment
mysk Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 Nice looking canopy what did u use basebords? Link to comment
lizbeth Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 It looks very nice! I'm going to tell you the same thing I tell everyone else..........you need to put matching trim on the bottom to cover the plastic. Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Very nice! I agree...you should make a matching base for it too! Link to comment
NanoReefer53 Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 jeez, u guys are woodworkers. man, if i had power tools i would try to make this kinda stuff ( too bad my dad isn't a handy man so he dosen't carry power tools). P.S-just a heads up, might wanna take the algae away from the powerhead. The impeller can get jammed and rio pumps are notorious for burning out and electricuting the water if they get jammed.
