It's conduit! I've seen people screw it walls with conduit brackets. Or in the back of stand with the brackets

I would use EMT. Electrical Metal Tubing is thinner than pipe and plenty strong to support a single Tao light.
Home Depot sells them in 10' lengths I think and you could probably bend it In their rental section.
3/4" EMT with a 90 bend at the top and a 45 kick at the top of the tank to get it to the middle. 1/2" would work too.

Any reason I can't cut a portion of the jbj hood out and justs set the lights on there I know it's only 5 inches just wondering ?

At 5 inches you might fry the corals. They make retro for kits for those hoods
