Mounting a certain light...

[seanarino]

I have an old 90's Oceanic 75 gallon tank (a real beast of a tank, mind you!) that I may possibly turn into a saltwater tank in the future - The only issue is that it has a massive wooden trim... I want to get two of the SMATFARM G5 lights (was recommended through another thread on here). How would I go about mounting these lights later on? Would I have to buy a 3D printed mount (or make my own if I ever get the thing set up again...)

Hang it?

Hang it?

Seems to be the preferred way to mount lights over rimmed tanks.

Hang it?

Yeah, see, there's no way for me to hang them because they're not lights that can be hung from anything (they have a gooseneck built in, much like a desk lamp, and it would be particularly goofy looking).

... Also, my room is *several, several feet high*... If I tried hanging it from my ceiling, I'd need a ridiculous amount of chain to hang it from - my ceiling is about 15 feet high. I know that sound ridiculous, but it's true. I also have shelves in the way. But I can't hang them from the shelves, because the shelves are a little wibbly. It's a bit of a Loony Tunes-esque situation. I'd have to *probably* make custom mounts made from reef-safe plastic or wood....
