It's not a super fast thing, just keep an eye out for them. Hopefully some will come along!

Ceiling-hung canopy is installed!

So, my uncle just finished the ceiling-hung canopy that I've been wanting since I saw a photo of one on Facebook.

Here's the photo-log of the event...

Installing hardware

Building PVC pieces that the lights will hang from

Trial run with existing canopy

Lights from under the hung light fixture (lots of blues on at this point)

That looks awesome!

 

[Kizmar]

Thanks! I really dig this.

One of the coolest things about this type of canopy/fixture is the light reflecting on the ceiling. At some point I'll try to get good video, the pictures don't do that part justice.

Awesome canopy, want to say Ive seen something similar on RC but yours is a lot nicer in terms of quality and appearance. Great job!

I got the idea from a photo Tony Vargus shared on Facebook. I added a skirt to mine so the fish don't end up on the carpet.

This was the one I had seen, again... Yours looks so much better

This is where I got the idea from. This one is much more fancy than mine...

Photo Update

Updated photos... color's not the best, I'm no photographer. :)

The RBTA is still doing great. Tentacle re-growth is slow, but continues.

You can see my blue clove over-growth...
