MY 250W DE MH project

I just completed my DIY MH with wooden hood – here are the pics to help fellow reefers get the best bang for your buck - DIY!

First off, construction of the wooden hood – I wanted to work with for pine (light and easy to work with) and so went to Ikea to get it.

The lucky part is, these 3 pieces cost me only $17 altogether. ($5 each for the small piece, $7 for the big piece).

Each shelf is formed with 3 pieces knocked into a frame. Sturdy but comes with gaps.

Modified it for an additional $10 at a Sungei Kadut woodwork shop. The uncle only took 30 mins to cut and staple the pieces together. The height was lowered by simply cutting off 1 of the 3 pieces in each frame and the excess used to form the bracing on top to hold the light hood.

Also modified the bracing for the light casing. Picture shows the back.

A raised platform is created by adding the 2 sides, plus a short strip at the back to prevent the glass shield from falling off, and a high front piece to shield anyone standing in front of the tank from the glare of the bulb.

:shock: :shock:

To me, you will be unique in all the world.
