    So I have a new Hamilton MH/PC fixture that I will need to hang. This fixture is meant to sit directly on top of the tank but in order to clear plumbing and allow movement for tank access I think hanging will be the best option.

    Problem is how?

    Anyone got an idea or is there a cable system that will work like other fixtures such as aqualight or orbit.

    fishflyer if it was mine I would take a trip to home depot and buy some light chain and some hooks, you could probably do it fairly inexpesively

    How to hang a MH light

    I was hoping for that nice stainless steel cable look. Maybe I could adapt a current outer orbit or coralife kit somehow.

    But chain and s hooks would sure be cheap.

    Yup, steel cables r nice, I have those for my lights. The setup came in the box. But i dont think it would be that hard to modify it to your lights. Are there any holes that you could screw into the fixture? Or is it full DIY?
