I have a 36" ATI Sunpower 6 bulb fixture I need to hang over my tank.
It has the mounting/hanging hardware, but due to where it's situated, hanging it from the ceiling is less than ideal, and don't really want to go that route.
I've thought of building some sort of set up that mounts to the back of the stand and comes up and over the tank, that will still allow for height adjustment through the mounting wires.
I've also thoughty maybe there might be some way of mounting something to the wall behind it and having something extend out over the tank and once again, use the mounting hardware and wires for height adjustment. I did something something similar to this back when I had a 65, but that tank sat "flush" up against the wall due to being reef ready with built in overflow. My new tank is drilled in the back for return and overflow, so it sits ~5" from the wall.
I'm drawing a blank here.
Any ideas, or thoughts would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

I've built two light hangers using conduit pipe, I am more than willing to help, share or explain what I did and how I did it. If you look at my tank thread you can see one of them. It was easy and cheap.
