Hey all I recently got some of the cheaper chinese style LED modular fixtures, these to be exact, http://www.amazon.com/AQUAMANA-Spectrum-Moonlights-Aquarium-Moonlight/dp/B00KMHPAGA
I have three of them for my new 180 gallon tank 72x24x24 and i am having a hard time knowing how to mount as i don't want to hang them from the ceiling where I live and also don't want to go with a canopy. Also the tank is full of water and cycling and the rear of the tank is pretty much against the wall so i have very limited access to the back.
My main two ideas are either 3 arms that come out from the back some how to hang/mount them to. Or some kind of horizontal mount that sets on the aquarium length wise they could either be mounted to or hung from.

Really appreciate any ideas.

Yeah man that is pretty much exactly what I am looking to do. What is that steel? I never see stuff for DIY frame type stuff around home depot or Lowes :S

Its actually 2 X 2 wood. I removed all the boards from the top of the canopy, made this light holder out of 2 X 2 wood and painted the whole thing. It turned out pretty nice, all matches and I didn't have to hang from ceiling. I don't mind hanging a whole fixture from the ceiling but 3 individual lights, naw. I don't like the look of that. The stand is a ***** to get into.....lol
