Another canopy ?

[lm]

Still trying to find some canopy plans and or pictures for a 75 gallon. Can anyone send me in the right direction and also what is best? Open from the front or open from the top?

IMO, the front, it leaves you with more room for lighting, which later makes it easier to open and feed without taking the canopy off
We have one that opens from the top, and have a difficult time getting the lighting we wanted in it.

IMHO I like my canopy that opens from the top. I really need the space when I have to reach the bottom of my tank.

I built mine to open from the front. Easier to feed and add top off water.

Here's an example, cheap too.
