Make your own hood.

I found this method in Practical Fishkeeping (a UK fish magazine)

First, get some thin wood (1"x2" is what I used). You then make a frame that fits all the way around the top of the tank, WITHOUT poking out over the outside edge more than 1mm. To this you fit a load of pine skirting UPSIDE DOWN. This results in a small recessed lip that you can fit some hardboard to. Use mitred corners for a good looking result. Make sure you varnish it all with several coats of polyurethane varnish, to stop it warping and possibly crushing the glass of your tank...
