 | Good company for DIY lights |
muddydogs   Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 21 Votes: 25 Registered: 15-Dec-2005   | Thought I would post my good experiance with AH supply and there light kits. I purchased both there 96 watt and 55 watt kits that come with reflectors, ballasts, and all the misc parts you need to wire the lights up. While there direction are excellant for building your light hood out of wood I took a different route and used .80 aluminum. I could not belive that they shipped my order the same day I placed it and I recived the kits within 3 days which is great considering I am most the way across the country. |

Could you post some pictures of what you did? Pictures are always great around here! 19G Container Pond [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/Wingsdlc/Ric |

| muddydogs Fingerling Posts: 28 Kudos: 21 Votes: 25 Registered: 15-Dec-2005 | Here are a few pics. This is a pic of the hood with the 2 ballasts, wire, and switches installed.  This pic shows the switches better plus the fan. I uses 1 1/2 square alum tubing to space the reflectors off the ballastis.  Pic with the 34" reflector instaled.  Both reflectors  Shot of switches and fan  Setting on tank  |
