Right back at you buddy. :bigsmile:

Hey Ed are you selling your actuator ? LMK.

LOL...

it might take me a while longer.. im having an electrician wire up a dedicated breaker into the breaker box. Hopefully that wont take too long or cost me a grip.. Also having the 3rd version of light bracket made this week.

I might sell the actuator, and the heavy duty drawer slide. I'm pretty chicken sh** to install it..

I would have your electrician run atleast (2) 20 amp dedicated circuits for your set up (if you can swing it). One dedicate for the lights and the other for the skimmer, pumps, etc.

Can I checkout the actuator and pulls when we hook up on thursday ? LMK the time and address.

Thanks,

It's not a thread without a Seminole sighting. :D

I didn't know there was a limit of pages on a tank thread "without" water ??? :p

Gotta love the supply store reference. LOL.

Maybe no limit, but sure seems like their should be a prize.

I guess I have a month to sell this 165g tank or get the ETOM nomination. Thanks for saving me Jim.

What are the specs on those drawer slides? I wanted to do something like that for my current lighting, don't have the ceiling height to really do something like Ian/You(?) with the actuator pulling the lights up, but would be nice to slide the lights like puzzle blocks around.

Mike,

I bought them off Ed (Dr. Dolittle). I believe they're rated for atleast 250 lbs....but don't quote me. I might have some shorter ones in storage...when are you planning the project ?
