CHEAP hood.

so remember you get what you pay for. I never had problems with fish jumping, but I've had all sorts of new problems with the new tank. That's all part of the fun unless you find a crispy fish on you floor . I was just sick of it, but I'm not ready to build by final hoods because I don't know just how my lights are going to be yet. So I made some cheap hoods. I don't expect this to last very long (a few moths is the best I give it), but if you took a little more time and spent a few more bucks this could last if you water proofed it and reinforced it better than me. I'm not a carpenter and am not the best at working with wood, so I'm sure many people could make something better, but this is my "slap job". I got 2, 24inx49in sheets of press board (or what ever it's called) for 2.99 each, and 1 8ft (I think it's a 1inX1in) piece of redwood for 1.29, if you wanted to make it stronger I would use 2 as you will see I skimped on this part. I did that mainly because I was to lazy to design something better, I just wanted it on my tank NOW! I think everything else is pretty obvious form the pics, but I'd be happy to answer any questions, just remember I'm no carpenter :smartass1

 

it's really nothing impressive, but for under 10$ I'm happy with it!

 

Nice.. Just a little paint job and you're good to go
And do you skateboard?

 

lol looks something I would have made.

 

ya some paint or some clear coat would be good, but I'm not waiting for it to dry. I do skateboard, but I've been pretty lazy about it lately. I've never lived so close to good surf spots before so surfing sorta just took over.

@sostoudt seems like we go about things in a similar stubborn way lol

 

Thats cool

I skate too

 

haha nice damon

 

good stuff man, it doesnt have to be fancy as long as it does its job. some paint or laminate on that and your good to go.

 

I'm going to be making some nice ones once I build my lights so I did not feel like bothering with the fumes

 

right on, share some pics when you get that built.
