hi to all, i'm writing from italy, and i'm looking for a diy lifter for my light fixture.

some info. the tank is placed in a corner of a room, on its diagonal and it measures 30 inches, its a cube. Above it, with some kind of acrilic support, there's my led fixture. it measures 30 inches x 30 x 4,5 inches high.
i'd like to find an easy or even complicated system to lift and lower the fixture for maintenance to the tank.

I was thinking of a motor with 4 cables, but actually don't know how or any specific, could you guys help me out, please..

the motor could be hidden behind the tank i have a free corner or it could be attached to the ceiling and in that case i would need some kind of canopy or whatever to hide it.

do you have any pics, plan or project, or even thread to help me out..

sorry if i posted in the wrong section, just thought it would be easier to get what i'm looking for in bigger tanks. feel free to move it

thanks to anybody that can help

Maybe you should ask this question in the DIY section, but this what I had on my old tank.
