Thanks for all the feedback. :-) The automatic lift gives me many advantages. Easy access for maintenance - allows for new coral light acclimation (raise canopy, then gradually lower over a week) - the coolness factor - no blinding from extreme bright halides when I feed the fish - easy bulb changes - the coolness factor - easier PAR (photosynthetic active radiation) readings - no need to bug my wife to remove the 6ft 70lb canopy - did I mention the coolness factor! :-)

ok, thanks :)

Then i just want to know, How many kg's ''rocks'' du you have in your tank ? :)

[samsreef]

43kg (about 95lbs). Having the two separate reef structures in the tank allowed to cut my live rock budget in half. I also like the open aquascape. :-)

that is un-needed but cool

So once you hit the button once it will extend all the way? Or can you adjust the height of the canopy a little at a time?

My attempt at this would involve the use of a rope and pulley haha.
