Default Light Rack

Anyone know where I can order a rack that will screw into the back of an aquarium stand- letting you hang lights off of it? Ive googled it and looked at quite a few places with no success. Thanks.

I remember seeing pictures where Jonathan had shelving brackets attached to the back of his tank. It looked like a cool setup. You can get those at Home Depot too. Maybe even in his gallery you could see it, or ask him for some advice. Hope that helps.

Man I am stupid, I need to pay more attention to your words. They are shelving brackets!

haha. Yeah that's what he was using. Those things are pretty sturdy. I don't know how heavy your lights will be, but if you buy long enough braces (or whatever the part the shelf brace fits into is called) so you can fasten a large part to your stand I would think they could hold some weight. I also thought it was a really good idea on Jonathan's part because it makes it easy to change the height of your lights and you don't have to drill into your wall/ceiling. That is a couple of big pluses. Let us know how it works out and post some pics once you get it set up, however you do it.
