That looks really good.

For the lights, you have a tank that is 72" long and (3) 16" pendants. To center them, you'd have 6" at each end and between them.

6 + 16 + 6 + 16 + 6 + 16 + 6 = 72.

Kool, thanks Marc I wasn't sure if I should make them perfect center or if they should closer do to light spread characteristics?

Marc, why i got you, could you try to find the link for the closet roller kit you used? That is if you remember where you got it from.

Coming along nicely!!! Surprised you can stand the NC heat and humidity with the heat loss you must be suffering through the garage.

We are in an old neighborhood with lots of tree cover. Hand I can keep the garage temp down by using a fan.

Here's my blog entry: http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php...t-rack-project

Rolling kit at McMaster Part # 1223A22: http://www.mcmaster.com/nav/enter.asp?partnum=1223A22

I don't see the point in butting the reflectors together. Think of them as individual spot lights. And the space between the lights, I affixed black acrylic and put my ballasts there.

Having relocated to the PNW nearly 11 years ago, the last time I went back to Chattanooga to visit family, the heat/humidity combination was miserable, and I grew up in the south. That said, I can remember as a kid staying with my grandmother over near the old Crockett Field (in Charlotte) and with fans and the large oak trees in her neighborhood the weather was tolerable in the summer. So I understand where you're coming from.

Blake, I am originally from Tacoma, so I know all about perfect weather. I don't think I will ever get acclimated to the weather in the south. Unfortunately my mother is moving to nm in August, so I will have no reason to head back that way.

Marc, do you just order the one kit or do you need two kits? Also, do you need extra rollers if it is one kit?

I really don't remember. It was $70-$75, if I recall correctly. I needed four rollers and two rails. I also bought threaded rod at Home Depot to get the height I wanted, which was 12". This is what their site says:

150-lb. Capacity Track Sets—Include two pieces of track that require 1 3/4" to 2 3/8" clearance from ceiling to top of door. Track is made from 0.056" thick aluminum. Hangers are top-mount, four-wheel units with up to 5/8" vertical adjustment. Both pairs of hangers have a 150-lb. capacity. Wheels are plastic.

Sounds like one set had everything.

Alright, ordered one kit. We'll see, it does sound like it has four rollers.
