Looking for someone to put together a light rack for a 8' eurobraced tank.

After a year of looking at 2x6s on top of the tank, im getting asked about whats going on with that. Lol

Let me know what you can do, thanks.

Shao, talk to concept. Dave made me a powdered coated stand from aluminum. Really well made.

Hey appreciate it,

Just needing a simple box frame for my light fixtures to sit on.

Approx 2' wide, 8' long and about 10" tall.

Im guessing because of length it may require supports midspan?

How about this?

Would need 4 of these.
I'm currently running 2 light fixtures.
So 2 for each end of each fixture.

Added a 1/2" lip to the feet, to prevent the stands getting accidentally knocked into the tank.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190523/8819c44ec35982992dbbb2ee3837e9c1.jpg

whats the exact dimensions of the opening between the eurobracing, also it would be better to have the tabs on the outside of the eurobrace, not the inside

So here's a revised sketch.

Option A is my original thinking.

Option B is with tabs on outside of eurobrace as suggested.
Better structurally to have the weight from lights on outside edge of eurobrace/tank?

Is that doable?https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190614/542075803b3ffe7e3d73ec8bb78ab246.jpg

I know my Radion RMS mount runs parallel with the mounts resting on the outside of my eurobrace. I’m thinking it would probably work the same in your case.

Here's mine 2cent.
Think about when you do maintenance. I know i have to move mine around when o have to do more then just a simple WC.

Maintenance won't be an issue.

I'll actually be restricted less than my current stacked up 2 x 6s lol.

Spit fire, is the new design OK???
