Hello folks,


I wasn't sure if my question was a under this heading or "DIY"....

Anyway here goes....



I have 2 12K ecoxotic Par 38 bulbs and I need everything in green.

A picture is worth a thousand words....


I wasn't sure if there is something I can buy or it's a Home Depot thing....Anyway...

Hanging support and everything in green.
Ugh, its early in the morning, but I take it you want a diy or other fixture that is green to hang your par38's over your aquarium?

I've was actually discussing this with the wife. If you google something like "pvc lamp reef" in the image search you can see where someone made their own lamp out of pvc and painted it black. Wiring kits for lamps are cheap, and you can feed the wiring through the pvc itself.

You could do a modified version of this and just paint it green.

Thanks Duvallj...


I just picked a color (green) so everybody would know what I'm trying to find/install.

I actually want everything in black.

Use small pvc to hold the shade.

Good idea jagr200...thx



It took DAYS AND DAYS FOR THIS COMMENT TO SHOW UP. On my end -the forum showed you responded - but when I clicked on the thread - I could'nt see your comments....

This is happening a lot to me and I'm sure it's making some wonder why I don't respond to their generous input....

Frustrating
