Nice Ian, congrats buddy.

Thanks Charles.


Little setback with the track actuator. It got shipped home rather than to work. Hopefully I will have time to pick it up from UPS tomorrow.

Testing
YouTube - Track actuator, for light fixture


The fixture has 6 mounting points. However to make things easier, I bought a couple sunlight supply double point hanging kits to turn the 6 points into 3. That is why there are only 3 cables. My plan is to mount this thing to the ceiling and build a nice box around it so all you see are the 3 cables coming down.

Nice to see all the parts coming together.

Can't wait to see it all together.

Look forward to seeing it hanging. Pretty cool for sure!

Thanks, it was actually pretty simple to do.

Thanks, everything is bolted in place with lock nuts. Hopefully it will all hold up haha.

Looking good. How did you know where to put the pulleys for equal lift of the fixture?

Not sure if I am understanding your question. Are you asking how I decided on where to reroute the pulleys?

Love the layout of the rock and can't wait to see the tank come together!

This is going to be a nice tank setup.

Ok, here are some progress pictures of under the house.
