!v@n's 100g Rimless Build

[!v@n]

Looks pretty nice too me. Great idea.
I'll be using thin starboard with earth magnets attached for mine. E plastics also sells translucent acrylic panels that I've been thinking about as well. Just a few more ideas, but the poly osb looks nice as well

I tack welded a few tabs along the bottom that only stick out about 1/4” to hold the weight of panels with magnets. That was my initial idea. But now after a few beers and starring at it, I’m thinking of leaving some of the tubes exposed and do flush panels with hidden hinges. I can drill and tap the tube for machined screws tp attach the hinges. And I think the exposed tubes would match the other piece I build really well.

Today I made the adapters to mount my lights. I have a pair of AI Sol I’m gonna be using on the tank. I didn’t really like any of the available mounting solutions so I decided to make my own, kind of. I had seen someone on another forum use a computer monitor mounting arm to mount a light over his tank so I ran with that idea and am gonna use a dual monitor arm. I had to make adapters to mount the lights to the standard 100x100mm monitor mounts. Here’s what I came up with. I used a sheet of .090 aluminum and cut it out on my cnc to shape, then bent it to its final shape. I’ll be painting them satin black to match the mount. I think it will be a nice solution and allow me to move the lights back whenever I need to reach in the tank. (The light is taken apart in the picture. I used only the heat sink to get all my dimensions and for mock up)
