build advice

Post by volcomkrew4life »

I found an old 10 gallon bowfront in my basement today. No hood or light. Thinking about turning it into a little tank with 1 or 2 dwarf puffers. Any suggestions on how I can build my own hood (possibly out of wood) with an attached fluorescent tube? I really have no idea what to do. Advice please! Here are pictures of the tank ...

I have found those tanks to be unreliable, cracking/leaking very easily. Better to make a terrarium out of it! ;)
