As I mentioned, they had a nice t5 system - which I yanked, because I'm a modern man, dammit!

Had some old rails - so I chopped them and made adjustable (fwd, back, left, right, etc...) - and it's universal enough I can shoehorn any brand/type/size as long as the bracket fits the light.

Meanwhile, the tank was still full of sand - we got enough rock and sand out to move it, again time sensitive so we had to haul ass. That's a 5 gallon bucket, half full, after moving it twice now. Breaking through the top crust, it was STILL damp/wet, which naturally added weight throughout the moving process.

Rough layout of lights. Don't give me a hard time, it's what I've got laying around (old 26HDs)! I have some OR2s as well I can supplement with for now if needed, until I can go for some XR-30s or HD64s. Might have to sell a kidney.
