I went to HD today and got some nice Zip ties to support the plumbing and keep it from hanging off the bulkheads and stressing them. Thats all I went for but why do I always end up leaving with a $100 plus receipt???

Anyways, does anyone think I should put a protective acrylic shield just under the T5's? I have some 1/4" acrylic laying around and was thinking about it. It would be a bit of a pain to install but probably could be done. Would the acrylic warp or melt though? I know its a bad idea with MH's but Im not sure about T5's. I was just thinking that even to keep the moisture off the reflectors, bulbs and wiring would be nice. What do you think?

I also picked up some of the foam used under carpeting for under the pumps. Its the stuff kind of like yoga mats I guess but thicker. I figure I will triple it up and see if that gets rid of all the vibration.

I will post a pic of the dry fit plumbing when Im closer to being done and get everyones advice.
