gebbers Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Hey I'm lasse Gebbers from Germany. I hope my english isn't too bad ^^ but we will see. Ok I have a 2.5g Nanotank (12l tank in german) I was starting bad because I didn't plan a thing. Now I want to renew my tank. I dont get completely hoods and completle tanks in germany. I already build a hood but it don't look pretty ^^. Has anybody of you an idea how to build a good looking hood? Link to comment
snowlancer2720 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 check out the link in my sig. it doesnt say how i built it, but there are some pics. i used 1/2 in poplar wood, if that helps Link to comment
gebbers Posted March 22, 2006 Author Share Posted March 22, 2006 Yes thx I thought about that too, but I'm a bit afraid that the water makes the hood rot.(when water heat up and disappear ^^) Do you have any problems with that? Link to comment
brent-konieczny Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The water would not make the hood rot if it were painted and sealed with a clearcoat of poly-urethane. You can see pictures of my hood being built on my construction page www.wildernessvoyage.com/5build.html. I later stained and sealed it. Link to comment
snowlancer2720 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 no problems with mine either, my was sealed with that stuff that you use to seal the cement in basements, and yes, its ok for fish. i also put a fan in to draw out some of the moisture Link to comment
