My new 93 Gallon Starphire Rimless Cube Reef Build

[letsdiscus]

Managed to get the LED lights fitting done this weekend..

Had my GHL Mitras LED delivered a few weeks back....Had to take sometime to run around different hardware stores to hunt for the compatible hanging screw which would fit in the supplied GHL hanging bolt.

The size is Metric 0.6mm.

I was not able to find a Dowel hanging screw which would have been ideal to fit one end(Metric size) in the supplied hanging bolt and the other end(wooden screw threads) into the studs through the dry wall ceiling.

Reviewed few threads on GHL Mitras forum to get some ideas, also reached out to Michael (Aqua Digital) to check if GHL could supply the compatible Dowel screw. Finally decided to place a wood strip in between the Ceiling Dry wall and the Studs. Materials used..

1. 2x2 Solid Oak strip from HD (Roughly $7/- )
2. 2 nos. M6x25 Nuts(screws) -(BIN # 3095 in HD) ($0.49/- each)

Pictures...

Looks great! Are you going to snip the excess cable or just roll it up? I have been debating snipping mine but no one see's it in the fish room but me. Still bugs me though.

Thanks for your feedback.. At the moment not decided to snip the cable..Will probably do once I have the full setup running but wud try to leave some extra length just in case..
