290G Peninsula Tank

Those long hooks were the standard zinc coated ones available at BC Fastners. Even if I could find other ones, I think that the stainless steel cable would eventually start to wear through them. Those hooks are almost nine inches long.

My new plan is for about 5 inch closed eye hooks threaded through wood blocks both of which will be screwed into the ceiling. Those are as thick as your small finger. Then a 3 inch pulley will hang below that for the wire. Even if there is some horizontal pressure, the shorter length of hook and the encasement by the block should prevent any bending. :-)

Tonight I reworked my light lifter. Here it is in action now.
