Is your husband mechanically inclined? He can probably build something like that. @Gtinnel built one for his Noopsyches I believe.

My rails are hung from the ceiling, so kinda different. I could’ve 3d printed tank mounts for the rail but I prefer it hanging.

Yeah, I just went back and saw that. I'm sure he could figure something out thought.

So I installed my new Noopsyche lights yesterday. I did a diy method where I hung them from a piece of extruded t slot aluminum. So far I really like the lights, but part of the bracket I bought to use for mounting them to the bar are breaking. I think it's because of the way I've installed them.

So with my new Noopsyche lights I had issues with hanging the lights from the plastic bracket, which they call a paw (or claw). I had an issue with the paw cracking in the middle to where my lights were close to falling from my rail. I added a second rail spaced apart so I can mount the lights from the 4 holes in them directly. I'm much happier with the way they are mounted now.

Overall I'm very happy with the lights. I'm considering adding another 1 or 2 to the tank, although probably overkill since I already have 5 and was told that I should only need 3.

Show these to your husband and he can make modifications?

That was my original attempt with a single rail. I ended up making it two rails spaced out properly for my screws on my Noopsyches.

Also I agree a non flat ceiling shouldn’t matter if eyebolts are mounted in the ceiling and the rail hung from it, which is what I did. The cable/chain/rope or whatever it is hung with would have to be different lengths. It still shouldn’t be hard to level

It's more the height of the ceiling that is the issue. I will get pictures tomorrow as I'm already laying down for the night. I believe it's about 20ft high.

Does it have anything to do with nitrates and phosphates? I use reef roid and I have seen good growth and good coloration in the corals but at the same time I have been fighting with the increase in nitrates and phosphates

I’ve heard it’s a great product but overuse can def increase those numbers. That’s why I don’t use it because I can’t be trusted! I just use brightwell’s coral aminos and the corals get the benefit of the following foods I feed the fish:

Reef Nutrition:
R.O.E
PAC-Pods
Arctic Pods
TDO Chrome

Nutramar:
Marine Complete Shots

But again, Reef Roids is a great product if used appropriately.
 
Sorry about that everyone I had 900 errands to run I had no idea about.
I live in a smallish town and every single year the snow melts, they tear up the roads doing something.
This year they decided to do them all at once.
Very frustrating.

@luis angel I ordered coral cane with my order from Dinkins and I used it tonight for the first time I just broadcast feed but I think the corals liked it and the anemone as well.
