Setting up a 5 foot 187g tank and wanted to know if anyone had a blue print and parts list for a wall mounted 80/20 rail system light mount for the orphek natura icons and some or3 light bars. Thinking of adding in some kessils as well. Can’t hang from the ceiling due to vaulted ceilings in the house. Thanks in advance
 
This sounds fairly specific to your setup. You may want to try modeling it in Sketchup.

I would also make sure you're taking into account the stress tolerances of the materials and hardware you're using to counteract the weight of the light fixtures and anything else you add to the rack.

It's not as cool as 80/20 or other extruded profiles, but I just built my light stand out of 1/2 inch silver stick conduit and it will hold the weight of my lights easily. I have it mounted to my stand and not the wall though.
