I´m glad it has worked for you
To be honest - I have never tried it my self before, but will do it soon for sure

One possible advice on this awesome lightning: let the power cable run threw the stand (inside of it). Except this little critique it looks perfekt and is real quality stuff!

Jur4ik, Thank you. Cable is connected to a lamp special insulated pin with brass liners. This is a savings in overall dimensions.

I need to periodically combine temperature lighting. and four lamps - it is more convenient.

Besides their size does not fit.

Fantastic set up. I don't understand why, with all of the light you have, that you haven't added any red plants. I think ludwiga would be a great addition.

What material did you use for the box?

Carolina,
I hardly speak English, explain what specific interests. as I have tried to show the best photos of all the work so that fewer questions were.
