That is really nice Doug. The stand I had under the 36 i put together about a dresser I took from my college dorm room. Fence posts is a nice idea.
Not yet, but I want something I can raise and lower with ease. Some sort of hanging hardware with a pulley system so that I can push the light up or down to suit my needs. It's a rimless tank, so I'm going to want to showcase it from the top as well as the sides, but hanging the light(s) too high will blind me as I watch TV. I'm also starting out with the 8 lamp T5 unit for now....so I'll need something that can support that weight.Hey Doug not to jump the gun on you but have you decided on how you're going to hang your lights, I'm looking for ideas for the 150 build
I'm on a slab, so, no worries about the weight. If the concrete held a 300, it will hold a 105.have you considered the fact that the weight load will now be concentrated on those four points rather than spread across a few floor joists? Your going to have about 300lbs + of pressure concentrated in a 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 area by my calculations
Not the most cost effective solution but I was looking at possibly hiding the Taos inside a stained glass billiard table light
if you are going that far, you mineaswell just gut the Taos and mount them into the billiard light.
Yes. Everything will be in the room behind, except for the lighting.I was thinking the same. So...the room behind it is the mad scientist's workshop and you are plumbing into there?
