pictures of lights hung over 6'+ rimless tanks pls

epleeds · 03/15/2009, 12:36 AM

I am in the beginning process of planning a 6 or 8 foot long tank. I already have a 6' t-5 fixture for the tank. I would like to see how people have hung their lights....and if someone has set up a motorized hanging fixture that is not enclosed in a canopy, I would like to see that too.

thanks...

It's not a rimless tank, but the motorized lift for my lights works really well and it is very clean looking from a display standpoint.

Plastic grommet through sheetrock ceiling

Wireless remote

Linear actuator installed in attic

Pulleys carrying the low stretch lines

Pulley mounted on plywood above the ceiling grommet

do you have a build thread that provides more info on your light lift setup? I love the idea and want to do this when I move.
