Oh, nice! I was thinking about building my mounts from t-slot aluminum and securing that to the back of the stand.The stand will have welded light supports on it, I will hang fixture from it.

This is one of the best things about build threads. There are many people likely going through or planning a similar build so we can leverage and learn from each other along the way!Great thread! Following along. I am starting my own ~220 gal build right now too so great to get some good ideas (I already learned something new -- octolids!! Thx mate!)
Inspired me to post my own build thread which I have been hesitant to do (not sure if people are interested, for example, heh)

Thank you, you should start a build thread so we all can watch it come together.

Agree, it’s always good to watch similar threads as they may do something that you may not have thought of.This is one of the best things about build threads. There are many people likely going through or planning a similar build so we can leverage and learn from each other along the way!
That sucks! Very fortunate you know what you’re doing to fix quickly and save some money!Well, today I ran the aquabus cable to attach the EB4 power module to my Apex for my mixing station. While doing so I noticed that the blower motor on my main Hvac unit didn't sound right. Being a HVACR technician, I naturally looked into it. I found that my blower motor is ceasing up and going off on overload, UGH!!! So I will have to take off tomorrow to replace the motor, thankfully its what I do for a living and was able to put one on hold at the parts house, to prevent my 120 gal tank from overheating.
I am a HVACR technician my trade, so its easy for me to diagnose it an fix it, but to others that are not so fortunate, please have a plan of action in case this happens to you.
So far the experience working with CDA has been great. Zoya is quick to respond and she also is very informative about their tanks and add ons. I went with the 61 in non-dimmable fixture simply because that feature isn’t available on the 60 in t5 bulbs. I thought about going with 2 36in dimmable light fixtures, but I like the look of the 61 in fixture.Billldg I have 2 questions for you as I am planning my next build just waiting to move into our new house next month. First question what has your experience been like working with CDA? My plan is a 180 at 72x24x24 and have been looking at different companies, I got a quote from plant aquariums from my LFS but thought they where a bit over priced. And second question is why did you choose the non-dimmable T-5 fixture? As I am looking to do the same style light on my tank with 4 xr-15 G5 pro or blues haven’t decided yet. Thank you in advance for any help with my questions
Thank you for your response Billldg. I will be contacting CDA for a quote. I was unaware that the 60” lights are not dimmable. This gives me something to think about. I hope you get your tank soon I can’t wait to see this come togetherSo far the experience working with CDA has been great.

I wish, lol!!!Tesla Solar Roof?
I looked into solar, but I am in Ohio and on a wooded lot so it didn't make much sense. However, planning on added some panels to my barn to run LED lighting in there.I wish, lol!!!
