Custom built led-T5 fixture

[Ben Seaver]

I recently built this to hold my Sb Reef lights and T5 lights I have. I pretty dam proud of it. I figure I can revise the layout pretty easy if needed. I just used some aluminum L shaped tubing and 100# hanging wire. Cost me about $120 ish to build, but I bought a nice titanium drill set that not everyone will need, so really maybe $90 on material. Fixture is 60” by 32” my tank is 72” by 36”.

Can you share some build or close up shots? I'm toying with the idea of making my own spin on the aquaticlife T5/LED hybrid, but my biggest concern is making it look good enough to mount in the living room.
