The DIY Floating Light Canopy
THE DIY FLOATING LIGHT CANOPY
Finished my light canopy. Pretty happy with how its turned out. Possibly mounted it a bit too high above the tank, so light intensity in the tank is not as high as what it used to be. But i may consider making a new stand for the tank some time in the future so if i do, it will be higher, and so the water surface will be closer to the halide again. At the moment, the halide is about 25cm from the water surface. Anyway, onto some pics!
Frame:
This 'U' channel is bolted to the wall. The light canopy will hang off this bracket.
This is where the canopy hangs onto the wall channel.
The finished product:
With blue LEDs for moonlight:
And whole system shot:
