So I think I know what I'm going to do but I wanted to see if anyone else had any ideas. Ok here we go...

I have three AI Sols I need to mount. This is over a standard 125 gallon tank. Three 24 inch sections for total 6 foot length. 18" deep.

Handing from the ceiling is out as its underneath a cathedral ceiling that slants upwards. I do not have a canopy.

Anything you all have done or seen?
 
Online it says 12" on the AI site. I just have stuck to that rule.. I recently lowered mine to 8" above the water cause I switched the optics to all 70's.

I just used a conduit bar and hung it above the tank.

Do you have a pic of it? What did you hang the bar from?

I had it bent,

Old pic but you get the point.

Look at woodworking stores for T-Track. It gives you lots of adjustability.
Here is a link to my installation inside a canopy but you can get two pieces of the T-Track and build some legs or suspend them from some conduit.
