Hi,

I was just thinking about what would be the cheapest option to make a cooled hood and suddenly I found a thread on an aquaristic forum about making home made light system. There was a guy who expressed his idea about a cheap hood made from gutter. Almost any gutter is perforated on the sides so you can easily adapt the glass to the bottom and it's perform perform as a reflector(ok, not a bat wing performance) cause its reflective material(some kind of aluminium). The Ends are closed so you can make a "fixture" with a little work. What do think?
