mounting m/h hood
H i all I don't know if anyone has done this but here's how i mounted my light hood.I went to revy and got these shelf brackets($13 )they are easy to install ,thin and very strong and you can adjust the height.They come in differant colours blk,wht,brwn etc and many length's 6"-18" i wanted to mount it so you could'nt see the bracket

Awesome job! You cant even see the brackets when your canopy is on
 Easy access to remove that nice oak hood you made....welcome to the halides

I like your idea. Not having to remove the lights when taking off canopy is great. Less weight on tank is a nice bonus. How many inches are your lights from the wall? Did you find studs for bracket mounting or use drywall anchors?
