In a previous blog, I showed how I assembled and secured a light rack (using EzTube) to the ceiling. Here's the link: http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...t-rack-project With the livestock in the 400g, it was time to get the lights placed overhead, and everything that entails.

It was down on the left end 1/8" for some reason, even though it was level every which way I'd measured it previously. It was a little frustrating to see this, but what can you do?
