How to suspend light! Do you use the standard lighting mounts?

I had kessil arms on my 75. Now I have 80/20 design by @Reefer Reboot
(Ignore tank, still WIP)

Two articulating tv mounting arms attached to the wall with zip toggles and bolted to an rms rail is my new favorite way to mount lights.

Need a picture in the "easy access up position" once you've completed it.

I use DIY but I like the results.

I run canopies always and they allow me to mount the lights within the housing both concealing them and allowing me to adjust heights.

When using your canopy for your lights, is your lid to your canopy completely removed for air or is it fully enclosed still?

I used T-slot alum and did my own diy light rack and motorized lift.

I made my own aluminum floating canopy then put plywood around it to match the stand

I love the rocker in front of the tank!

Maybe the cheapest one thus far. Put together for $25. Viparspectra on 33 long.

I love the rocker in front of the tank!

It's actually a kitchen table chair but I like to sit in it and watch the fish and corals

80/20 for me as well with help from fellow reefers I was able to do a floating fixture

What are 80/20’s?

80/20 is a brand name of an extruded aluminum T-slot. There are many other companies that manufacture this stuff as well.

I have a ReefBreeder Photon and I just used eye hooks with the hanging kit that comes with the Photon.

80/20. Old photo but there's 3 Orphek icons on it now

Nice! Can you explain how the Orpheks are mounted to those 80/20 horizontal pieces of 80/20?
