    Anyone have any experience with these? I'm can't figure out how they attach to the tank stand. My tank stand has an open back, so I may not be able to use one, which is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance!

    You cannot attach it to a tank stand. You need to attach it to he ceiling or a shelf that is installed above the tank.

    I live in an apartment and was unable to suspend mine from the ceiling. So this is what i came up with. I stained a 1X4 the same as my stand, and used 2 outdoor wrought iron plant hangers.

    Not to change the subject, but who manufactured your tank and where did you get it?

    It's an Oceanic Illuminata 57 gal. I got it at my LFS back in Feb. It is my first upgrade tank from my beginner 29 gal. I'm very happy with how it all turned out.
