Curious what everyone is using to hang their Black Boxes. I just got two and need to find a way to suspend them from the ceiling that doesn't look junky. My tank is in my living room so I need it to look nice.
Any thoughts?

I used small cable (looks like bike cable) but am jealous of other people's conduit or cool pully thing. The upside of mine is you can find the cable at hardware stores in small towns.

i saw mounts from back of tank for them on fleabay. if i find them i will link it, simply screw on tank or stand type.

That is what the people are doing with conduit.

There's a pretty lengthy thread about different ways to hang them. Search for it.

I think it was entitled how does everyone hang their lights?

I have never used these, but a quick search found this. I am waiting for a new chinese black box to come out. If reefbreeders is on v2 then the cheaper just as good units will come out with a v2 soon also. I check almost daily and saw these and another one. I am busy this evening but will look more tomorrow.
