212w taotronics fixture review and diy light hanger for our 75g

It needed to be tweaked over a little, but it's straight now. Its all screwed and glued together so it isnt going anywhere.

 

If you say so, just thats a lot of $$ to have fall into water. and it probably shock you fish too. just keeping it honest. lol

When do you think your gonna get another one? im thinking of getting these for my 75 as well, if i dont go DIY route..

 

I havent decided. I'll figure it out in the next few days.

 

I was thinking of doing something similar to my 75...but I bought the 120w

Is the frame made out of just wood?

 

Its 1x3s with metal reinforcement brackets and a piece of 1 1/4" full round for the rod. I made the ends of the rod flush with the ends of the 1x3. I guess the cuts the guy at lowes made on the full round werent perfectly perpendicular, which put it out of square. I just had to put a little pressure on it to straighten it out.

 

Looks like another fixture is on its way!

 

Nem looks like hes lovin it!



I cant wait to get fixture #2!

 

What was the cost?

 

kyle, if you are interested, i found some conduit fixtures people have built for ~15 bucks from home depot. looks clean as heck too. lmk and I'll link ya.

my d120 came in, i'll be hooking it up this weekend

 

Im interested.
