vfem, how long/wide are those vc pipe frames? What would be the recommended number of 6-packs under each? If you add more lights, how or where would you add them? Does the light bulb unit come with 2 light bulbs?

I really like it and had once checked for a light setup in ebay and it was around $60. I like the fact that yours looks very professional. If I ever grow seeds I plan to put them in the guest bathroom and would want it to look nice. Knowing me, I would probably paint it. :D

If I had a tanning bad I would have gone that route, what was I thinking passing up one of those on Craigslist!!?? lol

So far my plants are going well. I got a little carried away and adding more plants. Then I went and got chicks... they're all taking over the spare bathroom. Guests no longer use it for anything other then going in and playing with the chicks who should be out in the grow out pen by now, but its still in the 20's at night and didn't get over 41 today. I'm so done with this!!!

Mary, I can tell you this fixture is made of 1/2" PVC and joints. Not much to it. The totally thing cost $12. That included the cord attachment for the light fixture.

Its about 4' long and 2' high.
