I was deciding how to set up my lights and after spending so much on the Hydras I couldn't find it in me to spend more on fixtures. Just go to Home Depot and grabbed some Everbuilt adjustable metal shelves. 2 six foot and 2 four foot adjustable shelves and 2 triangle shelf holders. The adjustable shelves already have drilled out holes but I had to drill a couple more just to get it right. Screwed the lights in just right and for about $30 or less you have one sturdy light holders!!! This is a 36 inch 65 gallon tank.
