Let me see how you hang your T5s!

Have a 6 bulb ATI dimmable that I am going to be installing over a reefer 250, looking for ideas. I would like both suggestions and things to stay away from, thanks in advance!

Mine is a t5 hybrid, does that count? I used anchor hooks and a hanging kit to hang mine from the ceiling over my tank. Works well considering how heavy this fixture is

It comes with awesome hardware, super easy to hang. Use a Plumb Bob to align it.

Ditto, I think it looks great hanging, the light includes anchors for your drywall and a fitting that is simple and clean looking on your ceiling

I bought used so I dont have that part. Not sure how excited my wife would be with it hanging from the ceiling either.

Hardware store didn't carry toggle bolts with a hole. I choose not to use a hook and am pleased with the look of the eye hole. Amazon had options.

1/4" X 4" Acoustical Toggle Bolts

They do sell the hanging kit separately. The hole you have to make is not that large and would be easy to fill with putty if you ever take it down.
