I agree with Grizz, find yourself a fab shop and see what they can do for you. I made a similar design to the above only I used 1 1/4 x.100 wall HSS and 1 1/2" HSS slid over that for adjustment.

I guess I can look into it and perhaps they could do something like this......

Would this idea work for a 5 footer? I like it!

Loudest part of my system would be the nagging sound I hear on a regular basis about how much time and money I spend on the tank.

Here are a few pics of mine, nothing complex but it works very well, and very strong.

That looks great. Did you build that yourself?

they had a DIY article on how to make one in Advanced Aquarist Magazine. I forget what issue though.
