Will you remove the fixture and work with the bulbs away from the tank? How do you do regular maintenance for that matter? Just put an arm in and swing the fixture out? Off topic questions but I'm curious. Looking forward to seeing your results.

All I do to remove the bulbs is to lift the fixture using the adjustable cable hangers. Then I tilt the fixture by sliding the 2 front portions of the ^ shaped cable that attaches the fixture to the cable hanger through the hook of the cable hanger. The fixture then hangs at an angle that allows access to all of the bulbs. Takes about 10 minutes to slide out the glass covers, lift, tilt, and switch out the bulbs. No need to take the fixture down thanks to the slick hanging system.
