They don't make custom, but take the photos of the flip up canopy design and just about any cabinet guy and he should be able to make you one, they use the European hidden hinges, really easy to make. I think I'm going to upgrade my 75 to 240. Coralife and All-Glass are owned by ESU (Energy Savers) which is a sub company of Central Pet, the only thing I don't like is the retro fit MH lights that go with the canopy only come in a 150w version so you have to swap out the ballast for 250's

What is fireproof board, as mentioned above. I just installed a similar setup and would like to mount my ballasts like this. I assume I need to mount them on some wood that won't catch fire.
What do I ask for at Home Depot when inquiring about fireproof board? I asked someone there and they had no idea what fireproof board was?
Thanks in advance!

I have the aga stand for my 210 and i like it, i also like the hoods but i opted for the 72" outer orbit hqi fixture, my halides are ~7" from the water line and have no heat issues which surprised me as mostly everything i had read in posts said 12" from water line but my tank is doing fine.
