Ideas for MH stand?

[SoloSK71]

I have a MH light that I want to put on a stand over my 24" square cude tank and am looking for some help from anyone who might have designed/built one or has better Google Fu than I ...

The search feature did not turn up a lot, and what it did was mostly for 6' and 8' tanks ...

Look at Modular Led web site & see if the custom hanger arms for the Sol/radion is on the line of what your looking for & reply or pm me

I have a pedestal stand so I need something that would mount or sit on the tank itself :(

what i have for mine is just a simple 2x4 frame work that sits on top of the canopy with a 1x5 board running down the center that my Hamilton 400w screw to and my radion hangs from it as well i can grab you a pic if you want

Aquatic Life makes hanger arms that you screw onto the back of the stand. They are height adjustable.

Grizz would make you a stellar light hanger.

No way to attach to the back of the stand? If it has to sit on the tank itself you would want it made out of aluminum & it would have to have 4 support legs.

No real way without bolting or screwing something to the pedestal no.

I am getting some glass for a cover when the tank is finally ready and would like the MH to sit on top of it since I can't hang it from the ceiling.

I did something like this image below. It is EMT conduit from Home Depot bent to shape and spray painted. With a pedestal stand you could put extra bends to make it around the lip of the stand.

I wonder if you can find a used pull down weight lifting apparatus for the frame:idea:

I appreciate all the help, I ended up with a clamp on style MH and will be selling the other one.
