Thanks guys.

I used a dual tv monitor to hang the light, did a little modifications to it to make it work.

Thanks Jesse. They said end of October now so I had to put on my thinking cap once again and came up with this. 39.00 buck from Amazon for the monitor mount, 15 buck worth of Rem bars from my local metal supply, a little bit of welding and I got my self a hanger. :)

Awesome! I have the exact dim tank and have two lights on the way. This is the best mount setup I've seen yet. Can you please guide me a little more? Which dual monitor stand? What else do you modify to it? More details! Please ;).

Here's the dual monitor mount I used to hang the light.

39.00 at Amazon. I took the two square plate off that mount to the back of the monitor and welded a 1x1x12" bar in its place. the kit already come with 8 plastic spacers and extra loop for the power cable.



Here's how I mounted it in the back of the tank. I modified my existing hanger, welded a cross bar and hang the mount that way. I went this route since I cant get in the back of the tank. if you can... another way is to cut the post and weld the another piece long enough so that you can just bolt it on the stand.
