Fast's 120

Okay, well still not hung. One of the mounting points is stripped and I can't get a bolt in it. Talked to Ecotech just now, and they are replacing the light. So, they wont be up until next week.

if it was anything other than a striped mounting point of a light I'd say your on a good start but christ we all are having issues lately most of all i see shipping woes "I'm guilty of them this week" Well Wade cant wait to see the final out come of the twin bitches being HUNG all proper like :Cheers:
 
I was able to get a quick mock up before I had to re-box the one.

Looks good!
I'll be watching to see how it does with that much space between. On my cube I had them packed together pretty tight and it was a lot of light. For the new tank I have 4 of them that will be spaced farther apart but I'm curious as to the optimal spacing.

My plan is to center them over each half of the tank. So it should work out to equal amount of light on each side. The fixtures are free floating, so I will be able to slide them closer together, or further apart from each other if need be. Also, the channels will be free floating, so I can push it toward the rear of the canopy to get into the tank and clean or pull things out if I need to.
