    Hey guys, going to go get my radions this week and I'm not sure how I want to hang them. I don't know that I want to see them hang from chains and what will I attach the the chains to if I did anyways. So show me your creative ways of hanging radions. Pictures encouraged as always and if its just an idea that is cool too. I played with the idea of putting a wood shelf above tank and router a hole with a lip to set the radion on. Would that work. I don't really want to build a whole canopy that is a pain to access top of tank. Thanks ahead of time and this is a picture of the space.

    I stole that idea so dont give me too much credit! I love the shelf, you can find great decorative brackets for it and the bar or shelf can me any color. I put my food up top (im 6'4" though) and it pretty much hides the cables and drivers with much work.

    Added bonus if my tank ever floods my radion drivers don't get wet, I read a thread for a guy that happened to!
