Smile Need a custom canopy, or mine modified.

I have a 75G with a canopy, and I would really like to upgrade my lighting. I am looking to see if there is anyone that could make a custom canapy to match my cherry colored stand, OR take my canopy and modify (perhaps adding some sort of cabinet style to the top of it.

If anyone knows or has any suggestions, please let me know.
I did post some pics of my tank on my profile.

75G with approx 125lbs of rock, wet dry, TUNZE 9010 Skimmer, 300w Heater, 4x65 Odyssea Lights with Moon, 2 inches of live sand

not to send anybody over there but if you check on reefland i posted a diy 75 canopy that can be built with a trip to menards and a drill. matching stain is harder... much harder. if it is low gloss that is relatively easy though. just stain up test pieces and match
hope this helps

i built one very similar to the one you have that called for the closed hinges. I actually set mine up 8 inches with 1.5in cover the upper lip og the tank, givining me 6.5 in above assuming that would be enough. Wrong. at the time i did not have a light because they kept getting broken during shiptment so I winged it. Well when i finally purchased my light I found out that i was definaelty not gonna be ablt to go inside the canopy so before you build now what kind of equipement you will be putting inside before you decide to cover it. even leavin it open like mine is a pain. I will post a pic in a min
