light pulley system

I am looking for any pics, blueprints, and help with setting up a pulley hanging light system. I have 3 175 mh retro with spider reflectors on my tank now. I just got 4 48in t5 rettros in. What I am wanting to do is hang them above the tank but be able to pull them up out of the way when I need to get access into the tank. I was thinking of some pulley style hanging system. I am planning on running 2 of the t5 along the front of the tank with mh in middle and 2 t5 along the length on the back of the tank. At this point the mh will not be attached to the t5s unless that is going to be the best way of doing it.
Any help is appreciated.
tank size is 96x24x30

I'm going to hang my t5 fixture soon, just waiting on some parts. If I'm successful I'll post some pics :)
Meanwhile maybe someone else has already done that.
