    Curious about suspending lights

    i thought about building smaller canopies so the light doesn't shine in my face when I look at it. Or having someone else build them just take the 72 inches and divide it and have 2 light weight canopies that would suspend.

    Curious about suspending lights

    Looks are super professional and smooth and rounded. I asked my uncle to build me a stand was the nastiest looking thing for the materials I bought.

    Curious about suspending lights

    Well see since I live in an apartment thats why I was trying to figure a way to have a hanging system that uses the weight of the aquarium and the stand to keep the lighting suspended. Some have suggest using L brackets in a stud in the wall but how do you find studs in an apartment hah.

    Hmmm interesting yeah I have a 90 set up right now with 4 vho's and I am not a big fan of them right now the canopy I have is maybe about 7 inches in height or even possibly lower and I wanted a bigger tank so that I could start from scratch while I slowly watch what direction this 90 is going...

    Curious about suspending lights

    Anyone have any good ideas and or pictures that could give me an example about how using 2 L shaped pieces of steel beams which I can bolt into a stand to suspend M/H lighting from a aquarium. I wish to do an open top 125 set up without a canopy I figured the shimmering water would be a nice...

    A bit nervous

    Ive seen those bubble wands in some of the local stores and I had always wondered if those are somewhat accurate and I already know that naturally coral respond to them but I wasn't sure if the spectrum was what it is in nature.

    I have always wondered about LEDs with coral. Now I know that some coral respond to them but do we actually know like the spectrum that coral respond to when we are attempting to simulate moonlight?

    A bit nervous

    SO just for the record the 2 sps I had were good starters once my 125 is all cycled right? Ive heard alot of situations regarding the aggressive side of them but when I go into reef stores they have them all spread apart just enough I assume so they don't start to fight. So is that a good theory...
