hey guys. i just want to share my latest project with you guys. i have no experience with building my own stuff for saltwater tanks. but in the following pics, you will see how i am going to "attempt"mount a 28 watt PC light onto an eclips hood. keep in mind there is already 40 watts of fluorescence over the tank. im just adding this for a little bit more of a boost. the 28 will soon be converted to a 36 or a 40 watt lamp. heres a run down:
i am using:
- 28 watt coralife aqualight PC fixture(previously owned by me).
specific parts im using:
-ballast
-lamp
-reflector
-front part of outer casing
-a piece of the back outer casing.
tools:
-hack saw
-tape measure
-hot glue gun with glue sticks
-permanent marker
-pencil
-paper
-my brain and common sense
to start off, heres the plans that i drew. now remember im only 18 and my plan drawing skills arent that sharp, but i think my three years of drafting class helped me out:
