Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. I need something strong to cover the tank because my cats won't stay off of it. This looks like a great idea.
I have two comments or maybe three... First of, the light should be isolated from the reach of the water through a glass. Commercial aquarium/fish tank lids have glass panels preventing the rusting of the light through the water vapor and small splashes from the fish themselves OR the fizz stones. The glass panel should be sealed with silicon to ensure as little as possible moisture from sifting in. this will prevent any shorting on the light, your electrical installation AND your fish (they DO get electrocuted). On the lid itself, I think it looks AMAZING great job! However, isn't it a bit too heavy? after all, your tank IS glass and it is a thin glass at that, Unless it is acrylic in which case I said nothin' Personallly I would NOT have painted it, there is a special wax that is used for vintage wood furniture. Basically, early american. That was is the best. I would recommend that instead of painting and then staining. The wax will prevent bending of the wood from moisture and mold/mildew growth
Wow. Thanks for all the tips. I did not research at all and you're right, after 6-7 Months I saw little rust on the screws on the light and replaced them with stainless steel screws. The light works great and I clean it every 2-3 months and I see some moisture signs on the cover. Glass cover for the light will definitely work little better but i wanted to do it as cheap as possible. For the weight I'm not sure, so far no problem at all. And by the way I don't know the dimensions but the glass is pretty thick compared to the one they sell in the store. It's older tank when they were making thibgs much better. 🙂🙂🙂
I used regular pine. everything on the inside is painted white so it helps with the water and also reflects the light better. I also added clear coat that helps too.

Your blue stones are giving a great look to your aquarium.
Beautiful design man! One of the best I've seen. Condensation will damage it bro.
Beautiful ...!!!! Great Job .... Tks for Sharing

Nice lamp
What size of wood did you use?
I love this
I cut the opening with the jig saw and used my router to take 1/2 inch extra to I can have a lip to hold the door back in
Very nice, what type of wood did you use? Does the wood work somehow because of water and humidity?

Hey i know this is an very old video but when the water evaporates wouldn't the wood get like wet
I bought a can of clear finish for car for like $5 and works great. You have to Clean it from tile to time and that's about it
I made it😊😊😊
