I just got my stand and canopy set up and I have lights that sit on the top of the tank is there a way to use those and mount those to the canopy.

arsenuts,

what i did on my 29g was i made a canopy and then in the top i cut a rectangular whole just for my (Sunpod 30") hqi w/ leds to shine down on the tank. i'm not sure if thats what you want but that's what i have done.
