Default First Post - my 90 hood

I just got this done a couple days ago and just joined here so I thought I'd share a bit. Its nothing fancy and was built in a 2 bedroom apartment. Its all 1x8 with 3 coats of satin black and 3 coats of clear. Running 6 t5's with twin 120mm fans blowing across the bulb ends. I need to finish up the wiring a bit but was in a hurry to see it in action so I left that till later. Plus I'm looking at making a power center to go on the end of the tank. So heres a few pics of what I did.

How did the hood turn out? I did one myself using 400watt MH lighting



Post a pic of how it turned out.

Looks awesome, I'm still new to saltwater but in the future I'll be needing a hood and I hope my turns out like this.

Plan it out now...Already have in mind what you are looking for and the space you have to work with and go from there.
