Anyone know how to build an aquarium canopy for a 20 gallon tank???

I purchased a 20 gallon aquarium and very stylish black stand but it doesn’t look really pretty in my living room. I am very picky and think that the hood just looks ugly, I have seen aquarium canopys (which is a box that in-cases the hood to make it have a prettier appearance) but I can’t just find one to buy for a 20 gallon. Anyone know how I would make it? I keep finding plans for 55 gallon tanks and up. Thank you in advance for your help!
Also, the tank is rectangle. Thanks!

I’ve built ones for 100 gallon tanks but, nothing as small as yours. Check with woodworkers.com
Couldn’t you just use the same plans for a larger tank and adjust the dimensions? It’s really just the same design. I found a couple of references. The first is selling plans for a few dollars and the other are DIY instructions. Both say that they’ll work for any size aquarium if you just adjust the size accordingly.
