I'll be anxious to see the replies. I saw one article on the internet where they used 2 pieces of black flexible conduit which they attached to the back of the stand and then it came up and over the tank and they drilled holes near the end of the conduit and used some wire and clips to attach the lighting. Its sounds kinda hokey but it actually looked nice.

I would say build your own like Molli said or there is a few different options to buy them. Aquatic life is one of the better ones I have seen and there is a few on ebay that look good as well.
I am planning on building my own out of conduit and painting it black. The pipe is really cheap and a bender is like 50$, but Im looking to rent or borrow one.

You can live for many causes, but you can only die for one. Pick that one very carfully.
