some update but camera no good and skill too so can't really get the actual colour which is richer Monti starts turn to bluish from brown when I got it free from reefer. Yellow face zoa

After 18 months of running my LED lighting with success of growing birdnest, milli, zoa and other corals, I'm going to pursuit further by revamping my current one to widening the LED's color spectrum

Hahaha...although lite set completed but now don't know how to hang the lite leh!

Wife not allow to drill hole on the wall or ceiling so must think of a way to hold the lite. My initial thought is to DIY a square bar or round aluminum rod to create reverse L shape to hold the lite or try to source off the shelf type. Isit good?

Anyone have any idea or input? please chip in........

Here is my thought of MY 2 Lite stand holder design, 1st is double bar and 2nd is single bar (Dimension not confirm yet).

I personnelly prefer single bar if it can withstand 1.5kg holding weight..

Please comment.

A stronger elbow joint should be able to hold the 1.5kg. There are many different types of elbow joint available for your choice.

I think the bar holder may need two. The other one nearer the bottom end. I had almost same setup install rear of cabinet using the mazarra light mounts. For added safety.With only one there might have some free play movement.

Yes...you are right.

For safety, I will add 2 more bar holder if select option 1 else add 1 more for option 2... :thumbsup: .

Btw, possible to post the picture of your mazarra stand here?
