Hey guys. For my new build I wanted to mount my Aquatic Life fixture to my vertical wall as my ceiling is way to high. Please advise and show me what you guys have done to achieve this. I’d like a sleek modern way to do this too to match my decor. Thanks in advance

Giesemann wall brackets are a pretty popular choice. https://www.bulkreefsupply.com/giesemann-wall-bracket.html
Otherwise I've seen setups where people have gotten decorative shelving brackets and hung lights from those. https://www.menards.com/main/storag...c-12645.htm?tid=-4873430712432187824&ipos=121
Thanks for the replies. I considered the Geismann brackets as they do look pretty nice and streamlined but being that my tank is 26 inches deep and the bracket is only 16 inches long if it’ll be long enough to have my light fixture centered with the tank to have enough light coverage. What are your thoughts? Also open to some more ideas guys.
I know you guys have some sweet setups out there. Let’s show them off!

Don't let a high ceiling deter you. My ceiling is unusual, and on one side of my tank it's about 15' high. I still went with a simple ceiling mount using cables. Turned out great, and easier to do than it looks. Here's a few pics. The lights are Maxspect Ethereal, and I used a 60" mount bar to which I screwed the Ethereals using flat screen TV standoffs.
