Wow, amazing! You have a lot of us hooked!!! LOVE the idea and the fact that you are experimenting. This is a great way to push the limits of the hobby, especially since you have your big tank where you can "save" things if necessary.

Wow lookin good and great job on the LEDs too.

Got the lights hanging. I have them hung where I can move the them up/down when needed so I can work on the tank. Really cool idea!

Counter weights made out of fishing leaders and weights.

Here's a video

Great suspension mechanism, simple but effective... but how much effort would it have been to turn on the lights? If one goes out, do they ALL go out? LOL, j/k, I know they're wired up so one can burn out with no problems... just remembering the National Lampoon's Christmas vacation! Great job, hope it works well for you!

Sorry for them not being on. I was still working on the wiring. Here's some pics

Can those Christmas lights keep corals alive? If so, what kind?

 

[sam11909]

That's what I'm hoping to find out once I get the tank going. Here's a link to Phurst's sucess with Christmas LEDs and coral growth.
