    I will post a pic tomorrow. But they can be hung from the ceiling. I built a temporary frame for mine till I am done then will do something permanent. I have been talking to the guys from boost for the last hour. That's a Friday night at midnight good luck talking to some of the other led suppliers at that time of night. What ever you decide make sure its what will work best for you its alot of money any way you slice it.

    Do these need any supplemental lighting with them? Really looking at them since they are on sale, and Boost said I need 3 for my 72 inch tank. That makes them about 1/3 the cost of going with AI SOL's.
