I've got some nice 1.5" x1.5" aluminum square tubing which would work great to add stability if you want one. Just saying. I know the stock rails for the sol are quite flexible but still very strong.

they're perfectly strong. the vertical rails are 1/4 solid metal
the horizonal rail is aluminum u channel. it flexes a little but im not worried about it

Would look even better if you hid some of those wires a bit better.

Good work on the DIY - interesting idea.

If there is no room inside, have them run behind the rail, and down a post.There are some cool products that can stick to the back of the rail, using double sided tape, that will house your wires.

How do you like the lights? Are they growing your corals well?
