Hydra 32 HD DIY Mounting

[GrampsReef]

What are some good DIY methods to mount two Hydra 32 HD lights above a 55 gallon reef tank? It is new and I am open to options. I just don't really want to spend $160.00 on mounting when I am really handy at making things, especially out of wood.

Thanks

I used EMT conduit from Home Depot... Less than $20 and took MAYBE 10 minutes to put together. Attaches to the back of the stand:

Hung mine from the wall behind my tank. Used 1" threaded pipe/flange/endcap. Used wall actors to attach to wall then hung lights from pipe via caribeaner.
