Default My cheap but functional DIY lighting

Got most of the idea from another member's DIY project here on this forum. Just added my own japanese style design to the canopy. Simple but effective (I think). At least it looks better than an oversized aquarium light sitting on top of the tank.

I was orignally using a used aquarium light which had an AquaGlo bulb at 20W@10,000K. I'm now using two simple spiral bulbs at 9W@5500K.

Enjoy.
