So the last couple days I’ve got a good amount done. I caulked the seams/edges of the Formica. I’ll need to touch up some places later on.

I started working on hanging the lights before I move the tank back. My first try was using the cables that Hamilton Lights provided to individually hang all 4 lights. I got 3 in and decided i wasn’t going to be happy. It was practically impossible to get them straight and then they wouldn’t stay straight. The weight of the bulb socket weighed down one end. It look way to unclean. And the biggest problem is that I couldn’t reach the inside cable should I need to adjust the height in the future. I decided to stop and take a trip to Lowe’s. Pictures of how it looked.









At Lowe’s I bought some different pieces to hang 2 lights together which would make the adjustment points on the outer most edge of the interior canopy. It the weight of the socket was not a problem and the lights are much easier to level out.











It looks much better.
