OK i was going to do it anyway, but niko's hood he made for Tex gal sold me, that being said i am not out to copy his design it just inspired me because i was looking for a light system for a big tank without going to MH.
my current lighting consists of two 160w 72" VHO's and one 96w pc and a shelf that holds every thing for the lights.

my new system will be on a "yo-yo" light lift witch will pose a problem with my duct work as you can see it comes out over my tank and i will need to put a eye bolt in the joist

so i cut the main duct back and extended the two 6" round duct coming out, and will run the line between them prying for center of mass. The tape is just to seal it it's not holding it together (note to self, i love my wife's sarcasm)


i started to make the frame by notching out the aluminum channel to make the corners i am going to have the two joints on the ends


after that i just bent the ends and then put them up on the tank to mark the overlap



then i needed to wait for the kits to go any further, then i got the kit's but no bulbs as a mistake in shipping thy were rerouted back to the shipper, but the mistake was the four rolls of reflective film that came with the light kits so after a lot of time on the phone i now have the light kits yahoo


and as of yesterday the package that had my lights in it made it back to me well 4 of 6 lights made it back to me, i started putting it together last night, but don't have the pic's yet, and being Saturday i am not sure when i will get my new broken lights replaced. but this my monday and am at work for the next four days so not much will change untill Wednesday any way.
