My first Attempt at a Canopy.

Thought I would share my first attempt at a canopy. It's nothing fancy, just functional.
Lights include 6 x 80W T5 bulbs running on workhorse 7 ballasts and using Icecap encaps and SLR reflectors, also 3 12" strips of blue LEDs for moonlights.


I put the light rack on cabinet sliders so I could slide it back out of the way for when I need to reach into the tank.

 

very nice! great idea using the cabinet rails so you can access them easily.

 

Great ingenuity with the sliding lights. Your giving me ideas.

 

Love the sliders, great idea. Karma +

 

looks good! the only thing I would do is replace the hinges with a piano hinge (aesthetics). Just a thought. I like the slide rails on the lights very cool.

 

Awsome job man! Love the sliders too. K+ for you.
