I would really really appreciate some pics of light setups to get an idea on how to hang a giesemann infinity over a rimless. Derek from miracles is working on my tank as we speak and now i want to get the lighting setup. Any recomendations for hanging kits?

I used a hanging kit that came with the pendant I bought, but I think you can buy it from premium aquatics for $30.

read this thread, I did research as to how much weight ceiling drywall can handle, etc.

this is what I ended up, I used toggle bolts on drywall, no studs.

I am glad I ended up doing the ceiling mount, as now in restrospect, I think using a conduit would not look as nice. of course that is subjective and people who use conduit will disagree. :)

Doughboys who's cube is that with the photon? That pic alone might have me rethinking whole giesemann infinity except my miracle tank is 48x24x24 that might be to wide.

I think that is d2mini's tank. I drool everytime I look at his thread. You can find it in the Reef Discussion section.
