L-Bracket Mounting for 16in Chinese Black Boxes (?)

[ZoWhat]

Show me if you've cleanly, contemporarily, stylishly found a way to mount 16in Chinese Black Boxes using an L-Mount to the back rim of your tank.... tanks that have a BRACE all the way around the tank rim.

Pics plzzzz

Mine is hung in a redneck way. I used conduits and a 90° joint and bolted it to the back of the stand. It's a temp stand because I had a nice wall mount but it ripped a hole in the dry wall and let the light go for a swim

I agree with you man, I've just picked up two 165W Viparspectra's and I am building a mounting system for them instead of wires from the ceiling.
