I'm looking for a black Canopy/Cap/Hood (that covers the top and lights) for my 46g bowfront tank. I have found a few pictures and places here and there, but no place that will ship one. Does anyone have an idea where I can find one online? I don't mind the shipping, it'll probably be just the same as if I special order one from my LFS.

I suppose I could build my own, but with it being a bowfront, that's a PITA and I would rather just buy one.

Something I was talking to froggy about the other day with her bow front is to suspend the lights/canopy above the tank instead of having it rest on the top of the tank. This way you can stuff as many lights or whatever you want to in the canopy, but don't have to worry about it fitting right.

They make the glass tops for the bowfronts, and this will keep any fish from jumping out or anything getting in that shouldn't be.

^^^ Yea, I have the glass top with the light sitting on top of it. Suspending the lights from above isn't an option because I have 20' ceilings in that room.

I'm looking for the cap like this:



to be able to hide the lights and equipment on the back of the tank... since this is in my livingroom, the tank itself needs to look just as nice as what's inside of it.
