That's good. Put a hook on each one and hang chains from them. Should put you close

ahh, thats a good idea, i just wanted to have a "phantom" look to the hanging light

Well you could get some heavy duty fishing line and us it. Like that spider line.

That's what I'm just finding out, dead center of my tank is offset between two studs.. dam.. lol

Lol. Mine was too! I had to scoot my tank and stand over. Luckily i put a soft peice of carpet under mine and its on hardwood. To hang from ceiling you could do like i did mine. Chain is easier to work with than steel cable. I just like the clean look of the cable.

Red acans are a fav of mine. Sun corals are super orange but require heavy feeding, super cool but i cant keep one.
