Buying Hoods?

Hi again,

Do you guys know any places that sell good looking aquarium hoods? In the past I've always had to make my own, but it's such a mission!
I know you can buy those black plastic ones from most pet shops, but I'm looking for a more attractive wooden one.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks
Gordon

 

i havnt seen any other type except for the plastic ones. Perhaps try making a wooden lid DIY?

 

Yeah - I'll probably end up doing that. Just means more time until my tank is up and running

 

true. Atleast this way you can get the lid made as to how you want it. Have you got any plans drawn up for a lid?

Thanks man. I have read through it before, but I'll check it out again when it's time to start the hood; I still have to build the stand!
I have built hoods before (many years ago), so I have some ideas. But I remember it being a lot harder than it looks!
