I'm purchasing a MH system from my friend that he just sits ontop of his aquarium but only because he has one of those plastic covers over the top. The lighting system weights about 20-30 pounds and i have no way of putting it over my aquarium without risking a fire or something. Most of the mounting systems i see are designed for specific fixture and while this is an aquarium MH system we have no idea what make it is. Does anyone have any suggestions/products they could recommend?

I just made mounting brackets for a T5 system out of 3/4" conduit that could be used for any lights.
It attaches to the back of my stand, goes up over the top of the tank.
I asked someone in the electrical department at Home Depot if they could make the bends for me.
