Well, I am going to talk to the rents about putting a couple holes in the ceiling... but then I'd need to fork out even more doh for the hanging unit. So perhaps the shelf idea ... but at the same time, I DO plan on setting up a new tank within the next 3-4 months .. I would just hustle more to get it going, as I really want to use my new fixture.

I'll keep you guys updated....

Thanks for all the tips and suggestions, I appreciate it.

Oh, and PS: I can't use the glass lid idea, because the fixture is too wide, it's bigger than the top of my tank, and with the skimmer and AC500, it's a no go unfortunately.

You can also build a frame off the back of your stand... no holes in walls, no holes in ceiling... Parent friendly

The shelf idea so far seems the best idea to me, because even if you upgrade your tank later on, the shelf can still come in handy for other things and even modified to be a bit more attractive and useful.

You can never complain about having more shelf space....

And no worries man, everyone here has some form of equipment they find useless and is stowed away somewhere. I don't think anyone here can claim they've never made a mistake when purchasing something...

I bought the completely wrong lights for one of my canopies once (the 4 or 2 pin thing...ugh)...fortunately I was able to return them. :P
