Aquarium Advice Freak
I'm planning to build a canopy for my 200G Aquarium. I will be sealing it with some sort of polyurethane to minimize warping, but still I'd figure some woods would be better than other. I also want to paint it black and would like to minimize sanding if possible.
Someone suggested furniture grade plywood or poplar. Can I get some insight on this please?
One more thing... how snug should the canopy fit? The tank is 84.5" from bracing to bracing, the wood is 1" thick, I was thinking I would cut the front panel 86.5" in length but that would make a very tight squeeze. Should I maybe go a little longer?
Thanks in Advance,
Dave
