Where can I find a hood for a 180?

jherrin215 · 10/19/2010, 09:06 AM

Can anyone tell me where I can buy a hood for a 180? I could really like to find a perfecto hood that matches my stand but have had no luck whatsoever getting one. I could build one but my time it so stretched I don't know when I would ever have a chance to finish it! The tank is running using a hood that I had from a 125 that I used to use but there is about 6 inches of the back not covered and I want to get the rest of my lighting installed. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Check with your LFS, they should be able to special order a canopy from Marineland (formerly Perfecto) or Aqueon (formerly All Glass Aquarium).

Try craig's list in your area. You might get lucky.

Thank's for the replies, LFS told me they could order one, never returned my calls with a price. Checked craigslist and ebay and another local thing similar to craigslist, no luck. I'm not retro fitting it with T5's, I'm installing 2 175 watt MH, 1 250 watt MH and some actinic 6 ft and 2 ft VHO fluorescent

I just helped build a canopy for a 180G tank. Its fairly easy to build and all you need is 2x2's. Frame it up and cover it with what ever wood you'd like. Heres a link http://www.tcmas.org/forums/showthre...t=30722&page=3

Hope this is helpful and can get you started on the build!!
