Default LIGHTS! Custom Lights...12 Bulb Tek Lights :)

Hey Guys so last night was a long one! I have two 6 bulb 3 foot Tek lights that I needed to put over my tank. Why two, you may ask and I would say because I have an odd tank that is 3 foot long by 3 foot wide by 2 foot tall. Next you may ask why not just 2 250w MH's and I would say because this tank is in my room and its hot enough in that place without MH's cooking me like a chicken. So here it is my custom 12 bulb 3 foot Tek light that took me from 8pm till 430am to build so my tank had light again in the morning


I stopped about halfway through and thought hey, yo guys might want to see this so I grabbed my camera.
So here is where we start...two perfectly working, in good condition, made in 2008, 6x39w Tek Lights



Then I started to cut, and cut, and cut, and cut some more!






After that was done I put it together to create the outer shell for my masterpiece





Then I had to relocate the cords and switches all to one side




Now I started to rewire this bizznich





Next came the reflectors! Just about done only 5 hours later



Now the lights and look at that baby glow
