did some work on light rack...solaris is TOO heavy for aluminum rack, have to re-build it with steel, also need to remove, and re-install ceiling light, that would interfere with rack

Last night, I moved and re-installed the ceiling light

decided to stay with the aluminum light frame...but for stability/safety added 2 more tracks in center, and a top, cross bar to keep all 4 rollers aligned. (tracks will extend 5-6 ft. additional, to clear tank, outline on ceiling, is the dimensions of the tank)

tonight, I hope to build the T5 racks...1 set will be on the tracks, so as to move out of the way, when necessary, however, since it is very hard to do any work in the tank with NO light, I decided that the rear row of T5s will be able to stay over the tank, but I will mount them on a 'venetian blind' frame, so that I can raise them easily, out of the way, and still have light

Alfie,

Lookin good!
Thank you, Sir



cant wait for the water to get in tank, need big naso and some angels swimming around in there to give it some life.

Slight Delay on adding water...been in Hospital since Friday night, (Heart problems), need additional hospital stay in 2-3 weeks, so I can not do any lifting or real work on tank for 5-6 weeks :mad:. I've already warned Doctors, that they must have me, back in shape, for the April Swap!
