    They do make brackets that clamp onto the ceiling tracks. You can buy them at Lowes or Home Depot. You could even fasten to the studding above the ceiling by running the cables through the tiles onto the studs. Just place plastic onto the tank, so you don't get dust & tile piecing into your tank.

    I bought if off of ebay. And I think it may be the one you said, but it is the 72 cause it does look like the one in that pic, just mine is bigger. LOL I have it set up now, but only the led's are on cause it is night time. So, I will post pics tomorrow!! I love the way it looks though. There are 2 led's that aren't on, which I am thinking may just not be in right, cause there was 2 mh lights that I had to push in after I opened it. We will see tomorrow. Thanks for all your help everyone!!!

    I just mounted it on the tank for now. If I get ambitous I may hang it, but I am planning on getting a bigger house this summer, so I will end up hanging it at some point, so the pointer on getting the stuff from lowe's I will keep in mind.. THanks!!

    No problem.. My girl & I are looking for a bigger house now, the main reason I haven't setup my new 90gal yet. :( I'd hate to move it stocked. Happy house hunting. I'm getting a headache with house shopping.

    Well, we are going to look at a place tonight. My friend owns it and he is a contractor, so he is totally remodeling it. He said if we like the location ect. that he would work with us on how he does the house. Kinda of nice, like building your own house..If we do like it, I think we are gona have him build a spot for our fish tank to fit in a wall. That is my dream!! lol So, I am really hoping to like the location ect. That is the main reason I haven't added much livestock. We have two fish and some snails and hermit crabs. That's it in a 150 gallon tank. lol Don't want to go spend money and end up moving and them dieing on us.
