Lets see what ya got

[projectx]

I am trying to come up with a functional but cool (non slapped together) way to mount my LED fixture over a 65 rimless tank.

Who's doing what? How are you doing a wall mount for your lights?

and of course PICTS BRAH!

Canopy?

 

[projectx]

nah, want to leave it open top, its a rimless, looks good so I dont want to hide it

ohhhh thats a def possibility
could frame one up real easy, then just get the light hangers that are adustable, can raise and lower it 24 inches with those

I'm doing something like this for my light that will go over my macro tank

Syn, have a link to that specific product? Right now I'm trying to figure out what I could use to possibly do for a riser for 300DD hood. The ones posted a bit further above are great, but I don't think are going to be good/safe for the weight. Heck still need to see if studs are where I'd need them anyways.

Have the wire hidden with cable track on the wall now.

Ya that is actually a bike rack but shouldn't be hard to make something like it with just 5 pulleys or even adapt this one to suit

Thanks, that works for me. Unscrew the hooks and bolt it into side or rig it into some eye hooks. But realizing I probably can only lift like a foot before I run out of ceiling since I assume especially with a combined unit like that one, it's got a certain amount of clearance it needs too. (Top of tank is above eye level.)

Lots of good ideas, Keep em coming, was trying to think of a way to adapt this the grey levever in the middle locks the saw holder in place,
i would bolt the silver to the wall but then how to mount the light to the blue center piece

 

[ReefCheif]

Ive trended towards the floating canopy, but ive done a shelf above the tank with the light hanging off the bottom of the shelf from a chain. Ive also used a decorative corbel in the past

 

[projectx]

The more I think about it the more i am liking the floating canopy too. Would be easy to build and look pretty slick

Something similar to what SynDen is going with http://www.ebay.com/itm/2PCS-Genuni...2ff72&pid=100338&rk=10&rkt=15&sd=322151456618

Threw this together last night I think it'll work out pretty good. Thanks for the idea

Looks good. How are you finishing and hanging? I'm looking for a new and slick looking way to hang mine in the new house with plaster ceiling...

Going to match it to the stand. Appliance white paint. Going to use a beefier version of the hangers I pictured above. I'll have some spares if interested
