Default Ideas for MH stand?

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 ...

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

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.
