[When I bought my tank it came with a MH/VHO combo hood the previous owner had hanging from his ceiling. My ceilings are 20 ft tall and I dont really want to hang it. Im not sure what to do with the lighting. I am in the process of building a new canopy for it and have come to the point of needing to decide. I have thought about putting inside the canopy and just connecting it to the lid but it wont fit. I have also thought about cutting a hole for it and placing it on top but Im not sure I want to make that cut into the lid. I was hoping you guys could come up with another idea.


Thanks]
 
[What about some type of nice wall hanging bracket like people use to hang plants? Depending on what you find, you should be able to suspend the current lighting from that.

Or add some legs to stand it on the tank?]
 
[chris,, you could build a support to hang it off your wall ,, Or make a Upside down L shaped support attached to the back of your stand ,,,, Take a look at peter lin's tank,, his lights are suspended by a metal arm that is mounted to his stand.. looks pretty cool..

[Exactly what type of lighting sytem is it? Are the mh lights mogel bulbs or hqi bulbs? If they are mogel bulbs you might be able to take the light apart and rewire it as a retrofit under the canopy you build.]
