re: DIY Hood questions



Your gutter should not be a fire hazard.

Check out these sites on building DIY enclosures:
http://www.lkraven.com/Aquarium/DIYLighting.htm
http://members.carolina.net/hyrb/ (use an aluminum gutter it should not
leak as much light out of it)

I would use real wood (poplar, oak, pine, etc.) instead of plywood.
These woods will look and stain better.  You can use 1/4 - 1/2 inch
wood.  I built a hood out of 1/2 inch oak and it is sort of heavy.

Good luck,
