That looks great. Did you build that yourself?

they had a DIY article on how to make one in Advanced Aquarist Magazine. I forget what issue though.

Cheers,

Thanks for the heads up. This Solana is turning out to be a pain in the b***tt. Lighting options are not many. It seems that this tank was design for a pendant, Sunpod or NEP fixture and that's it. At the end it might just be easier to go for a 21g rimless Hagen tank and use Aquactinics on it but then I would wonder if this would be too much light for a tank that's 24"L x 14"W x 16"H.......switching tanks is becoming a real PITA

Wow, thanks a lot for that DIY article. It's awesome and it explains step by step how to make a tree lamp. Do you guys think that I could hang the fixture using one arm or two? I like the idea of using just one because it looks cleaner.
