Mounting a ATI T5 fixture with legs

[Jepsep]

Anybody have a DIY idea for mounting legs on an ATI 8 bulb fixture? Can't hang one and Id like to use it. Thanks!

Jepsep, I don't have the links right now but if you do a google image search you will see some examples. Most people modify the tek legs and there are a couple of custom options. I looked for a long time and ended up using the aquatic life light bars. They attach to the back of your stand so you don't have to hang them from the ceiling. I have been very happy with it.

I've thought about that, glad to know that they are strong enough, may be an option when I switch to my bigger setup in the spring, can't get to the back at the moment though.

I have those metal light posts that attach to back of your stand from premium aquatics and holing my 8x54 watt ATI Powermodule

How do you like the 8x54 as far as coral growth and what coral do you have?

I have SPS dominate tank. Growth is great with T5, but I just recently switched to a shallow tank 14" and the Powermodule is overkill.
