Because of the depth of the tank, 24" and not knowing what the rock placement would be like I wanted a light that would slide from the back to the front. That way I can push it farther back if I'm working in the tank and can vary the position daily if wanted.
It's all built with a series of aluminum that has been bent to form channels for strength. I mounted heavy duty drawer slides under the middle set of channels and bolted the last set of channels to the slides. The light will then hang from the bottom set.
If this isn't very clear, I do have step by step pictures.
