Question....are they hinged?...treated wood?....

The top lid is made from treated 2x3x12 (cut into box frames) then we added a 1x4x8 to the front to keep it from moving. Sanded and painted black.






Then we added laminated shelving (42 inches long) for the tops.  Behind that is another treated (1x8x12)  that is screwed into the box frame to add support.  Sanded and painted black. Placed a piano hinges to between 2 boards. 





I wired in the CLF lighting one for each tank. The frame hides all the wiring for the heater and Air lines. 


Hope that address your questions Jon.
