I’ve just ordered a Waterbox Peninsula 4820!

While awaiting arrival, I’m going through the planning stages and I would really like to have some type of canopy. My thought is to try using some black opaque acrylic sheets and gluing them together into 3 pieces so that it will slide on and off of the peninsula style tank. I would add some braces and rests so that it will rest on the tank rim. I don’t plan to use the canopy to support lighting, as I plan to use an 80/20 aluminum frame to mount them. I’ve searched online and have not found this being done before. Is there something I’m not thinking of? Does this sound like a feasible option?
