There's no way I'm hanging it from the ceiling

Not a sunpower or ATI fixture, but it's a 6 bulb tek elite fixture. I had a welder friend make me hanging "arms" that are attached to the stand. I didn't want to hang from the ceiling because I rent.

There are some pictures of the actual arms in my build thread too.

Some good ideas here! I like yours kschweer how it attaches to the tank. Any reason why you have the arms so high or could you have gotten away with much lower?

Keep them coming everyone!

I could have gone lower, I just wanted to make sure they arms were high enough so they were pretty much out of normal view. Just didn't want them right in my face if that makes sense. Also it gives me a little more wiggle room in adjusting the light and I can raise the light all the way up if needed for maintenance.
