i love this build. very innovative using PVC. im definitely going to give this a try, but using the hagen T5 HO ballasts and wires instead of CFL. i have a couple pairs of ballasts/wires/endcaps lying around from old cannopy builds. as long as i can secure the endcaps to the PVC somehow, this should work.
thanks for the great idea.

awesome build.

I use what locally is sold as rubber stopper, it's just an end cap made of rubber. The 3/4" works great for the T5HO and the 1" for the T8.

To secure the end caps you could use tie-wraps, easy to replace and adjust. Once the lamp assembly is in place lamps won't move but be careful when cleaning it or working around your tank.
