Light Rack

[SweetReefOH]

After scraping the plan for a home made metal light rack, I decided to make one out of wood. It worked out great and I can see the previously shaded areas of coral now in light. Haven't checked the par readings yet but I'm sure it will be roughly double what I was getting with only two lights.

"Reeferntraining" - very nice indeed. Did you have all 4 pendants already at the last meet? We talked about your lights during the meet but did not recall if you had 4 or not. really clean design and I hear a lot of fellow hobbyist that complain about the LED shadows or dead spots they see in their display tank.

Thanks everyone..

Rick, I only had two when we met at the meeting. I used the club par meter last week and my par was terrible. 270 max. So I bought two more lights. The mounting options were limited so I just built a rack and painted it black. The rack allows me to "aim" each light individually. So far, I am really happy with it. I'm gonna recheck par tomorrow.

Looks nice, how do you have the Primes mounted to the wood? I am considering something similar. Thx

[SweetReefOH]

Unfortunately, I paid the $20 for each hanging kit so that I got the swivel joint bracket that makes the light movable. The hanging bracket has a thin slot in it that I was able to get a couple of wood screws thru in order to mount it to the wood.

Thanks, I was thinking that, but it was hard to tell.

I like it did it give you the coverage you were hoping for

[SweetReefOH]

Oh ya. I'm up to around 300-350 par around the mille's and I have a wider area of coverage overall. Also, last night Brian confirmed my suspicions on why the mille's aren't extending. My nitrates are at or below .5 and my phos is staying under .08. So, I started a nitrate dose yesterday. Well under the advised amount because I remembered your algae horror story from the meeting lol
