Hello
I was wondering if people had some ideas on building a light frame for a Marineland 300DD tank with 3 Kessil LED A360W lights. Thanks in Advance

I am only looking to try to get ideas of what other reefers have done, I am drawing a blank on the best way to hang my lights.
Thanks Again

I used 80/20 T slot Aluminum to build mine.

I can assume I can get the 80/20 from like HomeDepot

Don't think so. 80/20 is a brand name. Google it. You spend your money mostly on the connector hardware. There are other sources.
Also I recommend you look at their light weight aluminum if all you want to do is support lights. More than enough strength less weight less cost. Much easier to work with.

I am going to be using 80/20 to build a frame for kessils also. I douns a place local to me that stocks it, but the ebay store is a great place to get it also.

I plan on using articulating mounts so that I can point them how I want them. Slief on this board did this and it is in his build thread somewhere.
