Hey R2R,

I've been a member here for a little while but mostly just for the market place and really never posted. I am currently in the midst of putting together a 105 sca reef tank.


Quick pics i took today but here is the progress so far.

Moving a long. Trim is finished, 2 coats stixs of primer and 1 coat of SW advanced cabinet paint. Then onto the doors, plumbing, and mounting lights!

Any updated pics of this setup? I was thinking of doing something similar to mount lights on an upcoming build and was curious how you went about it...and how you like it now.

I really do like it. Its aluminum t slot 80/20. Strong/light doesn't have the diy feel. I can pm you the actual item number if needed most of, if not all came from Amazon. If you don't go through the wall as I did, it should be fairly easy to adjust lighting heights to get best overall par.

Looking good, recently got an sca tank as well no complaints yet
Yeah I'm also a big fan. Dollar value for build quality . I didn't care for the inset euro bracing but it does make putting a cover on it much more simple.

Curious how you ended up routing the power cord for the lights?
The 80/20 aluminum bars have nice channels to run the power cords. I ran the cable down the bar to the backside of the wall where the outlets are
