T5 to MH move.

[prec]

anyone can give any recommendations on how should i mount a MH as i cant or rather is not allowed to drill and hang my MH. so i thought of getting those as a unit by itself like (Atman for e.g those type). anyone can do any recommendations? i only need a 150W MH..

make a stand for the MH.

[prec]

eh how??

[hotlemond]

I think they use those aluminum L angle bar to build a stand. They are actually mostly meant for office renovation job, i guess.

There a reefers here who done that and posted pic. I think got one even use PVC piping

[hotlemond]

aluminum?? never seen them use long enough to judge

or you were saying the stainlees steel screw bolting them together?

[prec]

yah the bolts.. wait one day collapse means the whole mh will drop straight into the water...

your concern is valid.

Gosh if only a picture of the L angle aluminum DIY rack is available. Cos i was thinking you can use large cable tie to put them together.

if you are getting any lights from our sponsers here, maybe you wan to talk to them about this concern prior to your purchase. I am sure they have tons of other alternatives in this area

i'm asking DE to make the stand to mount my 2xMH light set. u can check with him

[prec]

I tot of using 2 slabs of wood to balance the mh in-between it.. sumone here is already using it but i cant retrieve the pic as i forgot where alrdy..

Can you use metal pipes for greater rigidity.
