Hey Guys:
I am building a 48" 6 Lamp T5HO 54W fixture. Just finishing it up however, after building the decorative shroud I find it is much heavier than I anticipated. The method I had planed to suspend it from the ceiling isn't going to work. Shy of opening up the ceiling and adding some structural support (willing to do but not wanting to do) I have not come up with a good support method. So.....I was hoping some of you could post pictures of the ways you have supported heavy fixtures over your tanks. I would love to see how others have solved this problem. That is if you don't mind my stealing you idea.
