    Hey guys! So I just purchased the dimmable 120w that people have been trying out recently with some great results. I was wondering does anyone have a link or an idea how to mount the fixtures on the tanks (like how most fixtures are).

    I can't hang them off the room, 20ft ceiling...fml?, no cabinet or anything ontop of it, and can't drill walls...so I need a hanger type. Does anyone know of one that can support 1 fixture, for now and potentially a second?

    The fixture is this one http://www.amazon.com/Aquarium-ligh...6ZKW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1338746106&sr=8-8

    It is the hanging suspension kit for the LED fixture not the dimmable LED 120W fixture that you were thinking.

    nah...gonna wait for it to come in and decide what other ideas there are I can do. People keep saying the metal is cheaply made and I'm afraid of a worse case scenario with it somehow landing in the tank...lol=_=
