My Custom Wallmounted, Fixture Hanging Solution

[RightCoastReef]

I recently aquired a relativley high powered LED fixture (147w) for my 30 gallon cube. I wanted to be able to place the light high enough over my tank in order to appropriatley acclimate my corals to the extra light.

I live in an old factory that was converted to apartment building, so it has a very industrial feel. I also have a lot of exposed steel piping that is painted red, so I decided to follow this theme.

I used pipe that I bought at home depot along with some 1/6" cable and hardware. Let me know what you guys think!

I think it looks great too. I think I'da used a shorter piece so that it wouldn't stick out so far. Otherwise, very well done!

Thanks! Like I said I have piping like this throughout the apartment so I wanted it to look like it was there from the start!

Love your exposed brick walls!

That's what I wanted but that was the shortest piece of pre-threaded pipe that they had

Man, that's awesome! I hate how some tanks and fixtures look like a sore thumb in someone's house, this looks awesome, and goes along perfect!
