I finally finished the hood. I have CF lights in it for now until the LEDs come in. I dont know how I will ever be able to work in the tank though LOL I am short to start with, but now I can just get my hand in the water LOL

Here are some pictures:

It's very nice and looks great. I have a new canopy in my closet that I should get out and paint and use. Like you, I am short so have never used it. Time to get a stool to stand on!

So does it come off when you have to do water changes and what not?

Because doesn't it add another 6-10in to the top of the tank? I'd need a step ladder with my tank with one of those.

But it looks great.:c12:

No, it stays on, but it is not very heavy and easy to remove. The doors are on the top of the hood. And yes I will need a very tall step ladder to reach in LOL I figure I can make an extension for my gravel vac.

And thanks everyone! Building the stand and hood was a lot of work but I think it was worth it in the long run. I only have about $350 in the entire set up (But we will not talk about how much time went into it).
