Does anyone have any suggestions on how to hand the Radion XR30W lights... I have a total of 4 units and will be spreading them across the top of the tank... they will sit about 14-16" above the tank.... but, my ceiling in the fish room is like 14'-0" high.... is there an easier way to do this than to run the cables from the top?..
Here is the room... ceiling is very high up... what to do?... |

You can build a frame into the wall, and hang them from that, only need a few 2x4s.

what I would do is build a plywood shelf at the height you want (about 14") then cut out the four rectangular holes in the shelf for the radiions to sit in. 11.25" x 6.5" holes then use a 1/4" shoulder bit on a router to give you the correct final hole and set them into to that. IMO would be a cleaner look as well.

Best of luck to you. Can't wait to see how this one progresses. I want to see your tank become Platinum Leed certified.

Might want to add an rollaway bed to your office equipment list because you might not ever want to go home.
