    Built this for my reefbreeders led light. Works awesome.

    This is with just the blues on, whites and reds green and uv turn off at 9. Will get more pics soon.

    The hangers for the light go up through the pvc, and down the length of it where i have a bolt that goes back through the pvc that the hanger loop goes around. So if i want i can just make multiple holes for different hanging heights. Right now it sits about 12"-14" off the water.

    Its great! I now have to build a canopy because you basically go blind if you go near the tank. Haha i have a piece of cardboard wrapped around my tank to keep the light in hahaha

    I am trying to do the same thing so this really helps. Doe the 4 elbows on the bottom support the whole thing? What size pvc is that? If you have a drawing or mockup can you please pm it to me? I have the same lights.
