How to mount a 60" Tek light on a 72" tank any thoughts ?:)

[DEAD_BY_DAWN]

Just wondering if anyone might have some ideas on how to place the light without hanging it above the tank .
Thanks for any input .

could add braces

Could also use L shaped wall brackets and hang from those.

You could give the light to me as it would fit perfect on my 60inch tank. Then buy a new light for your tank....

Get some square aluminum tubing and cut them to the length of the front to back dimension of your tank. You can use electrical tape to tape a couple together if needed to raise the height. Then use velcro to hold those braces onto your tank. Use velcro to hold your lights on there. This is how I've mounted my leds onto my aquarium. Velcro just means they won't accidentally get bumped into the tank.

The original request was ways to have it over the tank WITHOUT hanging

Just buggin' man. All in good fun, although I did enjoy seeing all of your pictures of your slick set up!

Yeah, I know. But I always wonder why people don't read the OP fully beofre answering the wrong question, and there I go doing the same thing.
