the light i have came with a nice stand unit, but it was meant for a 36" tank... during me building my tank i kept cutting crooked so my tank is now only 29" long :p
so i have to come up with another way to hang it, ive seen some nice diy pvc stands that look pretty cool and work good

Yea I want to use my 150w led fixture so people can see coral in white and blue if they desire, but don't want to obstruct any viewing from above.

I'm just using a 12-bulb LED fixture over the tank, 8 RB and 4 UV.  If they want to see anything in white they can buy it and take it to the windows (which will have closed blinds) :)

I'm going to have the hall lights off..  Everyone should have some sort of lighting as it may be a bit dim in there if enough people crowd in.  I don't think corals look their best with 500 florescent bulbs shining on them from the ceiling :)

Well with Adams light the rest of you won't need to bring lights. He just needs to figure out how to hang it 40' off the tank so it doesn't melt the corals

Just plumbed my Frag Fest tank into fragtank so I can start filling it for the swap :)

My plan is to build a box like structure under the tank for the swap, then just set it on the table. For a light im going to be using my 150W LED fixture. Going to screw a hanging wood fixture onto box tank sits on so my light can hang. Will most likely have everything cut ready to go and then build when I get to the hall before the event opens.
