Motorized canopy lift video

[lflint]

I finally got around to putting a video of the motorized lift for my 240 gallon reef on YouTube. The tank is a Clarity Plus 8'x2'x2' and the canopy is lifted with four gas shocks (like the lifts for the back end of a minivan or hatchback) and a linear actuator. It lifts 24" straight up and the system is hidden behind the tank and canopy. You can't get any better access to the inside of a tank!

Check out the video here:
