Thanks for sharing very nice DIY you have.
I also plan to change my 2ft tank total 79W lighting to just 2 x 24w T5HO.
Just to share this for those wanted to change to T5 HO light.All my plants and moss start to bubbles after i have change 6X36W PL to 3X39W T5.The effect of the T5 now is same as the PL but it reduce the watts and it save electricity.![]()

Where did you get the aluminium square rod from? Thinking of DIYing my own T5 as well.

PVC air con trunking will do the trick.
Instead of cutting the rectangle hole, you can use BJB screw on type of T5 Waterproof endcap. It will be much easier to diy.

I noticed you used dual-36W eBallast to support 2 x 39W tubes. Is that OK?

Juggler's tanks
It is ok to use the dual 36W eballast,the watts of the eballast is 36W to 40W.So to fire up a 39W T5 tube should be no problem.Originally Posted by juggler
