Lighting? I searched the world for a premaid 8’ light. Came up with nothing. Procrastinated on several lights daisy chained together. Finally made a decision. I figured I threw together the stand , maybe I can do the light.
Material List: (about $400)
2-1x4x10
1-1x4x6
1-1x10x10
2-Home Depot 8’ LED
2-Fluvall AquaSky
1-2way Gang Box
14g wire
Wire nuts
Paint
2 closet brackets
2 closet arms
I built frame to the size of the Home Depot Shop Lights. Then put the two 36” fluvall lights in center and gang box. Wired HD lights together and to a power cord. Wired fluvalls separate . Want them to run by themselves with automatic program. Drilled power cords through back side. Hooked HD power to a wireless switch to turn on remotely. Used closet brackets by drilling to stand at bottom, hooked in arms and put light on top. Weight of light is supported by middle of bracket resting on rear of tank. WORKS GREAT!!
I’m so pleased how everything turned out. A little innovation achieves a lot.
