yankeereefer Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Anyone have any good ideas for mounting the light or building it into the hood... I have a few ideas but they seem to be complicated. I bought legs from the LFS and screwed them in - One side of the legs rest on the edge of the tank and the other sits on the false wall YR Link to comment

How exactly did you scew them into it. I certainly don't see any holes. Link to comment

I used nylon nuts / screws to assemble Link to comment

Search the forum classifieds for guy named Hog Winslow - He builds canopies and bases pretty inexpensively - It's likely he can craft something with a rail inside to support your lighting. link to Hog's website YR Link to comment

We'll have to see how it goes though, I really do want to do this project with my own hands, every step. So I figure it will only take me like 2 days to ruin about $200 worth of good wood, 2 days to get the money to the guy and 3 to ship it, so maybe I will have an awsome hood in a week LOL . Here are some more pictures. Arrangement Back View FTS No Light FTS With Light Rock Up Close Rock Up Close 2 From the Small Side Thats it for pics for now, I'll take some more when I'm really done with the rock placement. Part of the reason it is the way it is, is because of the flow. Link to comment
