I'm looking forward to seeing this over a tank. Great work!! You should be pretty happy about it.

 

[ToXIc]

thanks man.. the bushings came in so i should be putting the fixture up today..

 

[schooleyosis]

Wow, that is an awesome fixture. Can't wait to see you tank pics with it up! Great craftsmanship!!!

I saw the ATI t5 led combo at macna and it seems to have some advantages over just LEDs and just t5. It might be a cool option once it is released to the public. You did an amazing job. You should sell them.

Thanks for the kind words!

Andddddd!!!!......


.....Finally!!!!!!!!! The fixture is 100% complete!!!!!!

This thing is epic! I want one!

 

[Dowtish]

Epic is definitely a good way to describe this DIY. Again man, this fixture is a thing of beauty. No detail left out.

Although I'm sure you will have something to complain about it. LOL!

 

[creefer]

Again, great job with this. The attention to detail is beyond awesome!! Now....let's get this think over a tank.

 

[ToXIc]

It's over the tank!!! Pics will follow!

And yes Chris I have something to complain about! The freaking opening for the splash shield is on the side with the wall!!!

Also I ended up taking out the daylight bulb and putting in another Blue+

Excellent work! Fit and finish look great, well thought out, and executed!

What a great looking fixture.. Amazing Job Toxic!!

 

[ToXIc]

thanks guys!!


teaser pic...

the pics came out dark because it was late and the room was dark..

its definately around 20k..


But the real reason for no more pics is that I chose the wrong ISO so the pics came out grainy and looks like poo. I'll take new ones tomm.

 

[ToXIc]

Sorry guys I know I promised pics of the tank with the new light but I have been distracted lately.

Seems like your focus on the distration is appropriate. Good luck with this. I hope you're able to successfully solve the problem with no issues.

The scary part is that the aquarium did move some. When I set it up it had a small lean. But now is almost level.

Scary indeed, Kevan.

 

[ToXIc]

Yeah but at least the lean more....

I've got the stand strapped up with some metal plates and 2x4. Hopefully it will hold.
