Nice dimension on the tank, I am doing one very similar at 40x24x18.


What are those brackets you used for hanging your light?

That will be awesome. I bought the brackets from Cadlights for $129 and they suck. The finish on the stainless is terrible, the welds look horrible and the holes that are punched in the top crossmembers are different sizes. I had to figure out my own way to hang them as the hooks provided didnt fit through the holes on one side. I will likely end up painting them white.
