how do I hang my lights

[kwandrsn]

purchased 2 used blueline phantom led fixtures for a 36" tank im going to be setting up.
I have 4 rope yoyo hangers


It looks like I can connect a bracket of some kind to the bottom and use a rod to connect the two fixturesWhere can I get what I need to connect them together

I'd presume that you could get everything you need at Lowe's. They sell aluminum rods and brackets and cables. There isn't an issue with blocking air flow out the end, is there?

I would be able to find the top part of the bracket at lowes? I would figure it would be an odd size or something

It looks to me like you could. Take one with you when you go.

Ok I went to hardware store and bought:

36" long 1/2" threaded stainless steel rod, stainless hooks, Stainless steel nuts, lock nuts, screws and washers and a strip of aluminum which I cut into pieces and drilled holes and bent slightly and this is what I have come up with it isnt pretty but it works

I made something like that on my last build but this time im using self brackets and attaching hooks to the shelf. That way I have some extra storage space
