Light Mounting

[Dragon52]

OK, So I recently picked up 3 Kessil A360WE & now have to figure out how to mount them above the tank. Wife says absolutely not to hanging them so I thought I might try to come up with an aluminum solution that will mount to the Current Orbit hangers. Any ideas with pics would be appreciated. I was thinking a 1/2"x1" by 60" bar & drill holes.

What about the arm mounts with the extension kit? Basically its a 90 degree mounting arm, and then you use the extension kit that mounts to your stand. That way its not hanging, its not clamped to your tank

Could also hang from shelf brackets. 10x easier to patch some screw holes on a wall than a ceiling if the tank moves later.

Because it backs up to a floor to ceiling door type window I can't mount the to the wall

Tanks been setup to long to make this work. I can't get behind .tank
Thanks

If can get to the sides of the tank. Could always create a box around the tank that turns into a canopy. Paint the ply wood to match the stand and use calk and molding to hide where they meet.

Don't really want a canopy. My main thought is to get a piece of Aluminum Bar 1/2" thick 3/4" wide by 48-60" long, drill holes in it to hang the lights & lay that on top of the hangers the are holding the Current orbit marines on it now. they have slots so all I would need to do is drill holes & find some stainless bolts to hold it in place.
