You get the joys of only seeing part of it.

Where do you get the rack for your lights at.

I can look for where i picked them up at, but it was just a company who do aluminum extrusions, i had them cut every piece to spec and they have the flanges on them so the reflectors sit perfectly.

You can draw up what you want and they can cut everything for you even the angles. I had everything cut to size and just did the angles by myself since i have the tools around. Super lightweight and easy to assemble. I put it on a rolling track so i can move it 6f behind the tank and i can raise and lower it with the wing nuts (not ideal) i will be changing it to a pulley system eventually, but its not a rush because it works.

where did you get your light rack? I am thinking of getting one.

Thanks

+1 on eztube.com. I emailed them my diagram, they made some tweaks and a couple of days later it arrived pre cut and ready to go.

How sturdy are these eztubes? Will I be able to make a rack for some of my qt tanks and 5 gallon rotifers?

Truthfully i would think so, but before i go and order them i would shoot the company a email and double check
