Looks very nice [emoji106], did u convert both T5 banks into a single power cord?
I did yes, both banks are fed from one cord I ran the connection at one side, by drilling holes through the fixture and passing the electrical cord through and using the wire strain plugs to secure it. And then up through the top and out. It looks like it was meant to be this way. I’m toying with the idea of building my own fixture in the up coming year. Something less table top looking and will hold 4 t5’s and two kessils.
The attached images u can see how I ran the paralleling power cord.
So what I did in short is:Wow MapleReef , that looks amazing [emoji6], did you cut and strip the two power cords and join them into one or do you have a adapter for the two plugs hidden in the fixture ? Just wondering cuz it looks really really nice. As well I just got my confirmation from VCA for my two 3/4in Random flow generators looking so forward to outing them into my 75g .
So what I did in short is:
1: Remove the reflectors on both fixtures and remove the power cords.
2: To hide the power cord holes I flipped over the joining bracket.
3: I drilled two holes with a step drill. The used a section of one of the original power cords to run power from the front fixture to the ballast of the rear fixture.
4: Drilled a hole up the top of the right hand fixture and installed a anti strain grommet. 5: Connect all the wiring and installed a new 20amp plug.
6: secure all your wiring and re install your reflectors.
7: crack open a beer...
Gonna try my best to grow cheato in the 5 gallon fuge. I won’t have a huge bio load in this tank, and I’ll also be running bio-pellets in a fluidized reactor. Time will tell I suppose.Thoughts on algae scrubbing?? looking good!
