  • I built this light stand so that could hang a light over one of my aquariums. Even though it's inexpensive, I think having a light stand like this will make your tank look more elegant.

    What do you think of the light stand? You can also use pvc pipes to make something similar but I prefer the wood look :)

    • @ONEFUNFONE
      @ONEFUNFONE 2 роки тому

      Only problem with PVC pipe is depending on how heavy your light fixture is and even putting dowels inside of the upright pipes pvc will sag and lower your light closer to the top of the tank.

    Next time if your counter sink the two visible screws facing the front further into the wood you can then put a dowel into the hole and cut it off flush. That way after you sand it, it blends in and looks much better than having those screws showing.

    Cable management. You gotta have the wire on the backside of the wood. Maybe drill a hole to fit it through and run it.

    Just a suggestion, perhaps paint the pothos holders black? I use Plasti Dip as it is aquarium safe. Again just a suggestion, you do whatever makes you happy! 🙂

    • @RyoWatanabee
      @RyoWatanabee  2 роки тому +2

      Plasti dip is too expensive here. I can only buy it online and it’s like $20-$30 a can. Gonna just let algae grow on it. And once the roots grow more, you won’t even notice the holder

    May I please have a link to that plastic looking light tray you had on your first aquariums? because see I have an 50 G acrylic aquarium. And the edges make it difficult for anything to be mounted on. I've got the Aquarium co op light 36inch so I would need something long enough to sit upon it. I would love to see what all suggestions you have. My stand is an amazon stand one that has plant hooks above it. But any ideas I would love to hear from you and any links I would be so grateful to you. I also subscribed so I could see other videos you have.

  • @praktika1082
    @praktika1082 3 місяці тому

    I'd install a secondary fastening that connects the light to the timber framing, in case the eyelet screws fail and drop out of the timber frame. Something as simple as zip ties that connect the looped cable for the light to the timber frame would do. Basically a fail safe device to prevent the light from dropping into the aquarium in case the eyelet screws fail.
    Nice project though.

    You would be better off just buying a circular table saw. Perfect straight 90 degree cuts and you can tendon the joints. I would also put a few coats of polyurethane on the wood in that high moisture environment.
    I wish my BF was as handy as you.

    To keep boards from spinning like that, use 2 or more screws so that the board can't spin around an axis. (or just buy brackets like you already did, they're stronger anyways.)
    I'm here trying to work out how I want to mount my lights without drilling any holes in the apartment. I'm not happy with the to-tank mounting arm, makes me think it's going to pop the glass at some point.
