As the title suggest I'm looking for a tank mount for my reef series LED light. I currently have a semi ghetto DIY rig that has it hanging but looking for something more sleek. There is no wall behind it so please no wall mount suggestions and my ceilings are 18ft so there's the challenge. Post links to products or DIY stuff just wanting a more sleek look to my nuvo20

I welded up a couple pieces of square stock, drilled some holes and laid down several coats of Krylon black paint. Probably $20 and very minimal looking. Just an idea for you.

Where do you have the rails mounted? The tank is on a bookshelf so there not much to drill into. That one rail I have is just conveniently located at the cross part
 
My stand has a 4"-5" shelf all the way around so i welded them to a plate and screwed to the shelf. You could do a few things. Maybe bring the all the way to the ground and put one screw at the top and one at the bottom. Or how about one piece of rectangular tubing similar to how you have it and then tee off in both directions to catch the light mounts.
 
This is what I ended up doing some pvc and black spray paint. Probably going to add another coat but used what was left from a can I already had.
