Im trying to gather some ideas to build my MH canopy. Can you take some photographs to inspire me and the future builders. Thank you:)
 
Wow, that's a nice looking canopy you have Krish.


Thanks Martin...All left to do is put in the braces for my MH's that are going in this week. I'll update the new photo when it is finished:)
 
Not nice....but it does work it seems...

Best,

Here is the last one I built, have some more coming, most of the photos are locked up in the broken computer, so it needs to be fixed. Here are a few pictures.
 
Thanks for playing guys!

Is that a spider reflector Ilham? If so are you happy with them?

And Steve, your canopy opens from the top and the side? I think i want to do that design but have the top open like Krish's along with the front doors like yours. Do you like your fans on top?
 
Hey Jiddy,
Here's my 150 gal canopy. 3 doors on front and the top hinges on the back to lift away.

Thats what im thinking Scott, would you add another fan? I was thinking two on each side. Also can you snap some shots of where you hide your ballast
 
Jiddy,
I have one fan on each end. One in and the other out.
I have my ballasts mounted on the wall behind tank. I will try and get a pic.

Also, can you get a side shot of the canopy with the lid up, so i can see how your VHO's are mounted, thanks
 
Stop trying to HiJack Gabby, im sure there are plenty of WaterFountain Stories for you to go play in.

hmm Actually believe it or not but that's what i have to help my lights, you can ask Krish, Blazer88 and i think Elmo saw it too, so i don't know what hijacking are you talking about.
 
Ok here's my electrical nightmare with drip loops. There really is a little bit of thought in it.:rolleyes: Also the cam battery went dead so I only got one pic.
If you search for PFO paralell reflectors that is what I have. I did my own creative sheetmetal work to add two extra vho's to the reflector. I have 2- 24"reflectors with 4-48" vho's.

Here is the hood I worked on this weekend. Its not done but taking shape. I am no wood worker just an electrician so this was a new experiance for me.

Sorry if they are so big, Im working on that too :D
 
hmm well i really like Blazer88 canopy and if i had the money i'd copy his design just because it looks really really neat.
I hope he shows it.
 
Thanks Scott and where did you get your switchboard.

Twilli-Nice design, and dont worry, i wish i knew how to post bigger! Great shots

Im glad everyone started showing some great canopies, should give anyone interested alot of creative ideas
