Funny, that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't like the wire look either. Your tank move makes sense now, haha! I don't think you'll have any weight issues there - your tank is long, narrow, and shallow which is great for weight distribution.

Spit fire - I plan on moving the tank in a few years and wanted to have a solution that worked for both locations with out putting holes all over the place.
I ended up ordering some extruded aluminum to build my light mount. In theory with 1.5" 1515 and 20lbs of weight I should have a max of 0.5" of sag. Now the xr15s are only 4-4.5lbs each so it should be more like 12-13 lbs so I don't suspect there to be any noticeable sag! Concept has a Black Friday sale which was an excellent excuse to put down a deposit and get an awesome deal on my future tank / sump. I'm over killing it a bit with 5/8" (15mm) star fire. This thing will be a tank! The display will be 66x20x18. I figure the extra 6" at the end will be used for the light stand/overflow and mp40 dry sides all hidden behind a flush mounted u shapes acrylic cover

A big thanks to FragBox as I won a photo contest for $100 in frags!! Woo. Of course I ended up ordering a bunch more goodies to help fill the future (soon to be tank!).
I'll post some pics of my new goodies when they show up. Thanks again March from Fragbox!

FishTankProjects - 6' Shallow Reef Project
It's exciting to see my designs come to life!
Yesterday's I build two DIY reactors. They turned it really well and were a great Sunday project. I'm not sure what I will run in them yet (carbon, gfo, bio pellets? Who knows) But I'm sure they will come in handy! Not bad for about $60 and a few hours And in even better news my tank is complete! It's looking amazing and I'm just waiting on the stand to be built before I get it all shipped up!
