Brackets For LEDs On A Rimless Tank

I have a pair of 120W L.E.D.'S that i will be hanging on a 120 rimless tank and am looking for opinions/suggestions on whats out there. I'm trying to be cost effective and i would like a sleek look. Metal, Aluminum, Steel, Plastic, Something.

Maybe post some pictures of your tank and/or your friends tank (that's relevant).


Thanks ahead of time...:help (2)::help (2)::help (2)::help (2):

what size are they? i welded up my own frame for the chinese off-brand LED fixtures, but I saw at another reefer's tank, that he just bent some EMT into 90's, and used them for hangers.

reef radiance has some hangers for the chinese leds. reefkoi has a cool light hanger but you looking like 200 on that. one i find someone with a pipe bender ill probably just go with the emt.

Home Depot

10 ft of 3/4 emt is $4

Clips I used to mount to stand. $3

Spray Paint $8

The most expensive part is a pipe bender. $50

I bought one did the two bends then returned it.

All in all the mount cost me about $30

If you have anymore questions just let me know. This is super simple to do. Just need to practice bending the conduit unless you know an electrician they could do it for you.

Lol... I saw a guy doing that in store.

A lot of people hang from book shelf brackets, or an actual bookshelf. Looks clean, and serves a dual purpose.

That's what I did. The employees didn't even care. Even told me how to bend it if I were to "buy" it then walked away and never looked back. haha
