In all honesty I think it may be a blessing in disguise, as it will force me to take things slow, and not add a lot all at once. It would give me 6 months or so after putting things in to leave it be, monitor and see how things go before I can add more.Of course that is just in my head, and when push comes to shove it may all go down the drain and I run QT tanks 365 days a year

Hello
Wow truly amazing on the sanding and polishing bit. Good work. Titus |
I started working on light mount for the Noopsyche K7 Pro IIs that I will be using. I bought aluminum square tubing for this build. I cut tubing at 45 degree angles and used flat corner braces to connect it all together.

I wanted to make sure that my angles were a perfect 90 degrees. https://i.imgur.com/aXy8Svi.jpg https://i.imgur.com/L1BE2fz.jpg Not a huge deal as I will use aluminum rods and braze it to fill in the gaps. Once it is primed and painted it shouldnt be visible. I also put 5 pieces of flat aluminum across. This will be used as light mounts. https://i.imgur.com/lbDkwxV.jpg Finished mount, for now https://i.imgur.com/5VDsPXA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1ZfUpSE.jpg I actually plan on making this whole thing have adjustable height. I have a plan in my head, so we'll see if it works out. Should be pretty simple to do, so will update once I have more in next few days. |
Clean construction

As for the height, not electrically. Main reason i wanted something that can have adjustable height is because I am not sure at what height I will want lights to start with. I am thinking that once I find height that works I wont be adjusting it again. It is hard to explain what I am thinking about, so I will post up pics as things progress. |
Hello
Okay but if you do want to service the tank perhaps raising the rig up would be good to get stuff out of the way. Titus |
The light frame has come together nicely! Having the mount adjustable will be a good idea, especially if your rock scape ever changes down the road :smile:
