Heres the finished product. Thanks to my bro it came out GREAT.
Black Glossy paint covered by a layer of polyurethane. Fancy hinges and handle.
Canopy has 5 light sockets as you can see. 4-14w and one 23w which will be replaced.
The little compartment below holds the light switch.
Back of the canopy showing the light switch and the power cord.
Canopy on the tank. Will need to get a glass canopy to cover the top of the tank and prevent any water damage.
The beauty on the tank itself.. Looks GREAT
And finally the money shot. BRIGHT compared to the 20w i had with the standard strip.
