Added 2nd hydra 52 to 93g cube

For the last year I had 1 hydra 52 over my 93g cube. It worked fairly well but as the corals are growing out they had a lot of dead spots from shadowing and the edges of the tank where not getting enough light. So i added another set of lights. My plan is to run the coral acclimation mode for a month to try and not shock the corals.

I built the new rack out of 1/2 in tube steel purchased at home depot. Measured it up, welded the pieces together, and drilled holes in it to hold the units and bracing.

Here is a picture of the original light and the new setup.
