http://www.facebook.com/UaruJoey http://www.diyfishkeepers.com Please excuse the audio in the video. I was having issues with it, and didnt notice until the video was already done. This is a tutorial on how to build an aquarium canopy. In this video , i show all materials needed, total cost, and how to put it together. Keep in mind, I kept this as simple as possible. Once i wrap this in plywood, the plywood gets screwed directly to the frame, so the strength would then increase even more. The reason for keeping most of my builds as simple as possible, is so that a wider range of people can actually do them. I try to keep tools, and complications to an absolute minimum. . . . . . . . . ................................................................................

Feb 24, 2012 - Flip doors are cool, but I was referring to a canopy that the front or back 1/4 or 1/3 of the canopy flips up.

Feb 24, 2012 - what fish are you going to go with for that tank and how do you find the room in your house to fit all these tanks?
uarujoey Says:
Feb 24, 2012 - I like that style as well, but i want to keep this build as simple as i can, so more people can feel like they can do it as well.

007JAYDADDY Says:
Feb 24, 2012 - That's cool and understood but can you still do avideo on the other style. Upgrading to a 220 and would like to put the flip up canopy on it. Thanks in advance. By the way thanks for keeping your videos detailed and step by step. A lot of videos don't go in depth as you do.

Feb 24, 2012 - I have an annotation mentioning the problem in the video, as well as i mentioned it in the comments below. I didnt know it was happening. My mic had a dead battery.
uarujoey Says:
Feb 24, 2012 - Probably Discus. I dont have a lot of room for tanks right now. But i just bought a much larger house, that will allow me to expand my collection.

Feb 27, 2012 - What's your views on canister filters
burntouch Says:
Feb 28, 2012 - hey joey, will you do a complete tour of every tank you have? thanks
uarujoey Says:
Feb 28, 2012 - Any type of filtration has its pro's and con's. What do you want my opinion on? Anything specific?
uarujoey Says:
Feb 28, 2012 - It would be a very short tour right now. I just bought a house, and am moving. So to prepare for the move, i have downsized a bit to make the move much easier. Once moved, i'll be building tanks and setting up some huge systems.

Feb 28, 2012 - Fluval canister filter is it any good
uarujoey Says:
Feb 28, 2012 - I own a couple of 405's now, but have owned every size they have, even a couple of the FX5's. They are a decent filter. I love the hoses on them, although a lot of people dont. Good media capacity as well. Over all, i'd give the filter a 7/10.

Mar 20, 2012 - Have you ever concidered making a How to: video for basking canopys for turtles? I want to make one for my Red eared sliders.
pandadelights Says:
Mar 20, 2012 - How do you keep the canopy from sliding off the tank top? Also, how would I go about making a canopy for a regular store bought glass tank? Do the same rules apply?
