Show me your canopy light rails..

[RICKY81]

Hello fellow reefers

I'm in the planning stages of making my own light rails from 80/20 aluminum, but having a hard time deciding/thinking how to get this done. I have a 210 gal tank (72 x 24 x 29) it has a canopy where i will be hanging my lights. I currently have a Reefbreeders 48 Phonton v2, and will be adding a Reefbreeders Phonton 24 v2+, so that it covers the whole tank 72 inches. I'm thinking of hooking them up with the T-slot from 80/20. I'm thinking of doing something that can slide out like the drawers in the kitchen, but if possible something that can also raise up (to move out of the way) when i need to work on the tank. Hoping maybe someone can shine some light. Thanks in advance

@slief has a fantastic setup. It's been a while since I stalked his threads, but I'll see if I can find a link.
