Lighting mounts

[rogergolf66]

I'm looking for ideas for best way to mount my lights over tank. Can you please post some ideas you used or would use.

I need

Combo MH,T5 and led tank 1

Retrofit T5 over 40 breeders tank 2 and so on


I'm thinking something with aluminum to build a frame then mount the lights to this but I'm not sure the best way. I'm looking to review a few different ideas you have used in the past to help me come up with what I want to do.

Thx

Roger

unless its a frag tank with no fish, I have built wooden canopies for all of my tanks, with the lighting integrated in the design.

That's the route I'm taking.. I think my hair is falling out from trying to do it.

Yup I have done that many times. I'm looking for something a little more unique this go around. One of the light setups I'm looking to do will be 9-12 ft with of 40 breeders side by side and I think I want to do so,etching with aluminum rails and attach the lighting to the rails. I know simalar things have been done I'm looking for details on how and pics if possible.
