Sweet set up there. I'm trying to figure how to mount my lumenmax reflectors and lumentek ballast over my 450. I was thinking of using reefbrite led strips for atinic supplementation, but like your led setup.

CRVZ glad to see you are still making progress. you know us little guys love to see you alls big tanks.

Adjusting the height of the lighting is almost a two-person job with that bicycle hanging kit. I've helped Ryan adjust his in the past over his 400g. If you don't mind doing a test run, I'd suggest you rig two different ropes so you can raise and lower it like a common Venetian blind.

You could use black rubber as your light shield.

I was thinking the same thing. unless the light fixture was pulled all the way to the ceiling it would have the tendency to lean to one side. With the hooks positioned in the middle of the frame I would be concerned with the light fixture tipping forwards or backwards. I'd also suggest having 2 independent pulley systems one on the left and one on the right, having it all tied into the tie down on the left, that way you can still control and fine tune them both at the same time. I would also use hooks on all 4 corners of the light frame to prevent it from tipping forward and backwards.

I havent had an issue raising/lowering it thus far. While it will lean one direction a little while letting it out, I can manage it with relative ease. But, once I get the tank in, I'll check it out again and see if there's reason to adjust something. I do not expect to have to manipulate the system very often. But thanks for the thoughts!

BTW, I really like how clean and organized everything looks off to the right of the stand. Keep the updates coming.
