Oceanic hood modification - Need to fit mh under hood

[I ordered my MH kit last week and I began to make modifications to my hood so that the MH would be further off the water than my PC bulbs. I looked on Marc's site and after talking with him, I decided to go with the stilts route that he's got on his website.

The only problem is that the hood is only supported on the corners of the tank and not all away around the trim. How can I raise the hood w/o risking later stability problems. I have thought of nailing/glueing dowel rods on the inside of the hood and resting the stilts on this, but I would like more opinions.

I can take a picture to clarify but someone is going to have to post it for me.

Thanks,
Chris]
 
[I have a stock Oceanic hood on my 90G. I built a custom extension for it so that I could use MH's. You're welcome to come by to look at it for ideas. I'll try to post a few pics of it so you can get an idea of what I did.

I designed it as a full add-in to the existing canopy. It is not bolted/screwed/glued in any way shape or form to the stock canopy. It literally is a middle piece that sits between the tank and the stock canopy. I overlapped the wood for it so that it cannot slip at all.]

[That would be great if you could post some pictures and if I can't figure it out, I may swing by. We've got plenty to talk about besides reefs, the Ags that is.
