hey,

here is one of my lights that i made for my 3foot tank, using a 2foot ballast,

here are some basic and simple steps
1. cut gutter to required length,
2, pop rivet balst to gutter,
3 pop rivet to end gutter caps on
4 drill one hole in the end caps, big enough to let power cable through, and then wire up,(please note, that i am not an electrician, and that i strongly recommend that you get an electrian to wire it up).

there you have it, a basic light,



cheers Nick
