Building a light rack

[burrows14]

Awesome there is a PA down the street from my work so ill go check it out. I am gonna be using lumenarc mini reflectors and a 48" reefbrite Led for supplementing and also moonlights. Did you make your rack the same footprint as your tank?

Length is same as tank (approx 4ft) but it's a bit wider at close to 19 inches. The tank is a 77 gal Hagen, so 4ft long & about 16 inches wide. If you look closely at the first photo, the width overhang should be apparent.

perfect! hopefully ill have my reflectors next week so I can get a start on this thing lol Thanks for the info Mike

Not a problem, good luck with the build. I forgot exactly why I made it wider than the tank footprint, more than likely because of the space required by mulitiple individual T5HO reflectors. Before I had the MHs, I may have contemplated a row of 6 T5s and they likely would not have fit at 16 inches.
