55 gallon hood

[Jesuitstudent05]

Hi,
I just got a 55 gallon tank and it didn't come with a hood. And i looked around and they are really expensive. I was just wondering if anyone knew a company or website i could try to find a relatively inexpensive one.

-Thanks

if you have a glass top, just take a 1x12, screw some 1x4 to it and you can throw in a few flourescent lights and your all set.i did mine with 2 ballasts, 3-32 watt and 2-40 watt bulbs for about $50 canadian.
a little paint and your set for plants and it looks good.
