Front Opening Canopy - Page 2

I found this on the net... I'm probably going to build this for my 150-gallon once I get it started.

I'm not sure if that's concidered front-opening or top-opening... it's kind of both... lol

That is a nice Canopy

Very nice canopy.... but you'd have to be very careful about heat building up in it. I don't see any open areas. Usually, isn't the entire back open? I guess a few fans would help.

There are a few very nice canopies here and some great ideas! Thanks for sharing them. I'm thinking about having a new stand an canopy built soon as well.

Just out of curiousity, is there any other material that a canopy can be made out of besides wood?
