Default Bowfront hood?

Does anyone know where I might find a hood to fit a 36" bowfront? I
have the standard 36" rectangle that came with the AGA tank, but I'd
like to put in more light and fit the tank shape.

I've seen something for a bowfront, but it may have been what you already
have... ever thought about DIY?

There are a number of 36" powercompact strip lights that would give you
much more light. AGA even makes them now. Check Big Al's online.

I've thought about trying DIY, but I'm not very good at construction
or woodwork. I might consider it more seriously if I could find good,
clear instructions for materials and techniques. I have no idea how
to even approach making a curved structure out of wood!

Here are some instructions for making a wooden canopy for a 7 gallon
bowfront tank. I am sure the idea could be modified for your tank.

Let us all know how it goes.
