Very cool. Never would have thought of pocket door wheels for a sliding rack. Gonna have to put that in the back corner of my brain for when I finally get my build going.

Yes and if you use two kits one the opposite direction you can get total sliding control, mine is just front to back. I wanted to be able to push it back out of the way to get into the tank and to be able to slide it out completely for maintenance.

Thought I would post a few pics a few weeks after installing the new AI Vega system. Absolutely loving these LEDs and its showing the coral too. Better colors and getting good growth now.

I have also started dosing Sponge Power and it is definitely improving the color of the coral also. Sorry about the quality I only have my iPhone.

Do you think you're going to stick with the vegas? Or are you going to finish your DIY build?

I don't really get much disco effect unless you look in some deep shadows. I really like the shimmer.
