UPDATE....
Light Rack
Well,
There's been a lot going on lately and I'm just now getting to upload all these pics and report to you guys!
I wanted to give you a lot of detailed photos of my light rack. There were many that were inspirational for me so, if these might help someone... great!
Check it out...
All wiring is tucked into these nifty wire concealers...
All in....

The Light Canopy
Here's some more pics for you guys.... Shortly after I mounted the canopy the T5's went out. After further inspection tonight I discovered that one of the gold caps on my UVL Super Actinics was coming off the end of the bulb :eek2: So, tomorrow I'll have to go get another bulb to replace it.
These are with the Radium's only:
I'm still gonna tweak the aquascape for those of you wondering??? I just haven't gotten to it yet. Going to take out the piece of rock that connects the two islands and make them separate....
These paly's seem to be surviving the Zeovit 14 cycle well enough... today is only day 4!

Nice canopy. That is the best way to do it when you are retrofiting--leaving a pseudo-open top. I faced the same situation, but since I live in an apartment I didn't want to drill into the ceiling. Here is what I ended up doing. I don't want to mess up your nice thread with my ugly pic so I'll just post the link...

I just bent some metal rods to prop the canopy up.

I was gonna use thin cable but didn't trust the pieces holding it up??? I still may just do that though, just get something stronger to hold it that lets me sleep at night not wondering if the canopy will crash down on top of the tank...
My wife doesn't like them either but, I just wanted to get it up there. I'm open to suggestions...

The price is right and they're fairly quiet actually, more quiet than the last fans I had on my other set up.

nice, so do you have them on a adjustable transformer, so that you can slow them down?

something like this.

with DC fans, you can drop the voltage all the way down, they will just get slower and slower. with AC fans you get to a point where you can only slow them down so much or they stop.

Thanks John, I'll have to look into it next time I'm in Radio Shack. It would be nice to control the speed some. I wonder how or "if" I could control the speed some how with the AC3 I have based on temp or something??? Anyone have any experience with this, I'd be curious to hear???
