I'm looking for ideas of mounting T5s over a tank. I've got a retrofit 4x24w T5 mounted to a small wood frame but want something nicer that's not going to be super expensive or complicated to make. I will also be mounting a Reefbite to it.
maybe 80/20 or just simply a hybrid from AquaticLife. at the end of the day, once you consider the material to build it yourself (since you want it nice looking etc), it's half of the cost of the hybrid.
Yea, it's aluminum tube. I ran all the wiring for the T5 retro kit through the tubes. I even put rubber grommets in the holes I drilled to protect the wires.
The parts list they sent me included all the tube pieces cut to size and all the fittings.
