Man, if we lived a little closer (like in the same country) I'd build you one and ship it to you. I guess I still could. Just not sure about customs, etc.
Another member, customdrumfinishes, just finished a small stand and custom canopy for a small hex aquarium. He has some great pictures of it here:

If built correctly, I think that heat buildup from a canopy wouldn't be an issue for you and you might even have to add a heater to keep the temp consistant. |
Thanks for that really gracious offer BiscuitSlayer. I think what I will do is leave the canopy off at night and put it back on in the daytime and see how things go. If that does not pan out and I have to redo the tank again, I will leave it topless, see how the temperature is(if too low, I will add a low watt heater), and just add a good filter. At least this is teaching me what I need to do(fert, substrate, and excel wise) to get good healthy plant growth and that is half the battle.
