Make one.........most hoods that are sold in places like Petco etc are
way overpriced. They are not hard to make and all parts but lights are
readily available form most any big box builder supply. If you can cut
a board and nail them or screw them together homebrew is the way to
go. There is ways around the no ledge bit, as I have already added a
ledge for a hood by using weldon glue and strips of styrene plastic I
found in a hobby shop. They are dark grey but you do not see them.
They work just as good as any moded in ledge by AGA etc.
Buy some decent lights form Hellolights or AHSupply...........homebrew
is hard to beat and need not be overly complicated..ite more or less
just a simple box turned upside down on the tank/
