How to Hang My Aquarium Canopy

Sitting back and watching fish swim around inside an aquarium makes for a relaxing time. But to see the fish at night you need light up your aquarium. A lighting canopy sits flat on top of the aquarium and shines light down to illuminate the whole aquarium and all the fish in it. It is quite easy to hang a lighting canopy, but you have to be careful when handling it because the lights can break easily.
