    need some help here guys, just set up my new 72 gal oceanic bow front about 2 weeks ago. I bought a 36" t5 metal halide combo off of an LFS that was going out of business. I was so excited that I had stolen this $500+ piece of equipment didn't realize there were no mounting brackets, and I actually want it to hang. So I need some opinions and ideas how to hang this puppy, roof, wall mount, from the stand. Thanks guys!

    PS: I used 2 steel bars in the meantime to hold up the lighting. Just threw in couple lbs. of LR, sand, and 4 damsels.

    If it has 1/4" threaded holes in the top, just get some eye bolts and cable and you'll be good to. If not, check to see if you can buy a hanging kit made for that specific fixture.
