Upgrading my Lighting

[Gujustud]

I ended up milling out some delrin blocks at work to use as custom standoff's for the endcaps. Time has come to install everything inside the canopy. I had one question regarding the placement of the MH bulb.

My tank has a plastic crossbeam in the middle. Which placement method would be better?



Jack said it would be a good idea to get some SS sheet metal, and place it across it, to keep the heat away from the plastic beam, which I've done. I actually created a bit of a triangle shape peice so its not laying directly against the plastic.
