I recently got finished with a new tank build and was struggling for a awhile on how to mount my lighting. I have a rimless tank and a mix between LED and fluorescent lights. On my previous tank I suspended the lighting from the ceiling but the studs in my ceiling are running parallel with my tank so I didn’t have anything structurally to hang them from. I also wanted to conceal all the wiring to maintain a nice clean look.
After much thought I decided, to incorporate an motorized light lift in with the light stand. I absolutely love having the ability to get all the lighting up and out of the way while doing tank maintenance.
Here is a quick video of it in action.
