My old Halide and Orphek system.

I like how you have the unit in top of the tank instead of mounting the unit to the tank.

Stand and hood, great design.

Still a work in process, now will change a bit as I want to add T5 to the LED.

Great design. Can you tell us the light you have mounted?

Thank you!

Four Radions XR30W G4 with 6 Reefbrites 24” all installed front to back for better coverage. Tank is 30” wide.

Have 7 xr15’s mounted over my 8’ tank. Have it suspended with bicycle brake cabling connected to a tubular shade motor. Can raise and lower it from my phone, iPad or a keypad I mounted on the side of the canopy. Very handy for maintenance when you need to get deep into the tank, or use long handled scrapers.

I was wondering what the longer light were. Thank you.

That is cool with the lift. It is nice to have the lights too were one can lift them out of the way, to work on the tank or shoot pictures.

Thanks. For sure. Having the lights 8-10” above the water doesn’t leave much room to get in there.

I agree.

Just got my kit from Framing Tech this week. I'm incredibly happy with how strong it is, but also with how clean it looks. I went with the 40 series since it's holding up a decent amount of weight with what will soon be 7 lights. Working with tslot for the first time is kind of like plumbing your first tank. It seems impossible until you put the first couple or pieces together and then you can't believe you waited so long to do it.

Great looking design.

Great looking design.

Thanks! It's pretty basic. I designed it with the plan of moving everything over to my 150 once it's set up.
