I won the Grand Prize at Shoreline Pet and Aquarium's Saltwater Sunday event, a sweet Deep Blue 22 Gallon Frag tank! Thanks again to Jeromy and all of the staff for putting on such an awesome event!
Talk about timing, just a few weeks before one one of the best events in the Northeast the Frag Farmer's Market!

So off to the races I go time for a quick build and get this system up to hold all the sweet frags I will pick up this weekend.

I found a decent little 175w Hamilton Reefstar Halide pendant on CL for a deal and ordered a bulb.

After I found the pendant I decided to do a simple conduit hanging system. I will be trying to keep this part super clean looking. Since the lighting system was going to be more modern, I wanted to do something a bit different for the stand. I went for a rustic look with distressed shiplap.

Some photos :

Wow, that stand is pretty slick looking! Congrats on that sweet win! Can't wait to see it all full of frags :)
 
Finished up the light hangers this morning.
