That's how I hang paintings etc, too.
I thought about doing it this way, but I don't know if I want it that high for a tank because most of the time it will be viewed from either the dining room or living room, but sitting down.
Be nice to try with a 36" or 48" tank to have the extra height, but maybe not the extra lighting you'd need for it

Just my opinion.
