well i have made some progress i finished mounting the end caps and am ready to wire them i pulled the lights out just to be safe.



next i put the ballast up in the joist's, i could have mounted them right to the joist but with spanners air can get to all sides to help keep them cool. and then started to run the wire



i did find some coiled power cord after a day of running around but its heavier duty than i sat out to purchases but it will work.


after a good nights sleep i decided i need more clearance so out came the sawsall and i opened the front of the tank some more so the frame had more room.


then wired all the light's and set up the timers, i only set up two of the three until i get my replacement bulbs, hopefully tomorrow! but the timers are set and the wiring is cleaned up and in looms, as you can see the lights come right down on the tank or stay up in the clear and i have more room for maintenance than ever, i will have to wait and see after i add the two more lights but i still might put a skirt on the frame, but the light spill is a lot less than my VHO's were so a little fine tuning and i will get a final set of photos.
