How do you guys hang your MH pendants?

So I got my bad-boy PFO MH/PC combo pendant yesterday and the thing is a monster

I' not sure if I want to hang it from the ceiling or not yet, and I won't have a hood to put it in.

Do any of you guys have pictures of your set-ups or any helpfull help?

Bob Villa I am not, and my mechanical skills are limited.

Thanks!

Here's my setup... used PVC pipe , and using a floodlamp from Home Depot. (modded) Was pretty basic to make... here's the photos.

Everything is water proof,(somewhat) so nothing will be damaged if water spills (one more pic to follow)

I don't have a fancy pic as my computer died, and I'm on my old laptop with no USB... Any-hoo, I put up a small (about 8 inches) decorative floating shelve above my tank. I just used the thin steel wire my pendent came with, and looped it over the shelve. I did etch out little lines on the top of the shelve to hold the wire in place. The actual pendent actually rests directly against the wall. I was worried about heat/light damaging the wall, but it's been almost 2 years now and no discoloration so I'm pretty happy with my not so fancy way of doing things.

Hope this helps!

Awesome! Thanks guys! The PVC stand is pretty cool! I was thinking about something like that, the only problem I see is that this fixture is massive, 16"L x 12.5"W x 7.5"H and weights about 15lbs with all the gear in it.

Mr. Alberta, what are the rails you have your lights on from? How are the mounted on the side of your tank?
