    My tanks in a spot that I cant hang lights from the ceiling.

    Im wanting to upgrade this tank to LED's and keep LPS maybe SPS down the road.
    Is there an all together built light fixture with legs that I could get.

    Its a 48" Light Fixture

    Is your tank near a wall? If so you can mount shelf racks and paint them the same color of your wall. The cheap metal bracket type. It has a screw hole on the end where it would normally be used to hang a shelf. Use that screw hole to drop in your hanging kit for the light fixture. It works with my tek T5 hanging kit and I sure it can be modified to hang your fixture just fine.

    ive seen people make something to attach to the top of the tank made out of wood or pvc to hang lights from....or you could build a canopy as well
