Sure, I used 1 1/4" square steel for the top part that connects to the canopy and 1 1/2" for the base (which attaches to the back of the stand). I had the welder cap off the bottom of the 1 1/2" so the top can't fall and hit the top of the tank. Also, he drilled several holes on the 1 1/4" supports about 2" apart and welded a nut to the outside of the 1 1/2" support. The bolt threads through the 1 1/2" into the 1 1/4" holes. I believe it adjusts to a maximum height of 14" and lowers to about 4" from the top of the tank. If you look closely at the picture, you'll see one of the bolts on the right support.I know this is an old thread, but minus9 would you care to share your build specs,and how you made the canopy adustable?
I'm about to start a hanging/ floating canopy. My question is for those that used wood, how did you attach to the top of the canopy? I'm stumped
Ceiling. Gonna start on the frame tonight.Are you hanging from the wall or ceiling?
That's great, thanks.
I'm considering doing something similar for a 25g cube I'm setting up as a frag tank. I'd like the ability to raise and lower it for access to the racks as needed. Mine would be smaller, so maybe I could fab something that would be a 1 man raise. I was thinking perhaps a center post on a ratcheting roller in between 2 others. It would work on the way up, I'd have to figure out a lock/release mechanism to lower it.
My t5/led combo. Still need to hide the wires. It’s a work in progress.
This is the exact look I’m going for. I’m thinking of doing this with the AI Hydra LEDs and maybe some 2x6s. I have been thinking of doing this with the hanging kit.
