I have 2 24" reef breeders fixtures from my 90 gallon that are currently resting on the glass lid of my 46 until I find how I want to hang /mount them. Bowfront owners did you hang off ceiling or wall or build a canopy? I built the 90 g canopy but bf is a lil different =/

If you have woodworking skills, you can build a canopy for that BF. HERE is the canopy I built for a JBJ28, which also has a bowed front. Note that the Reefbreeder's fixture sits on top of the canopy, taking advantage of the angled edge of the light fixture.

Thank you, I built my 90 g frame with 1x1s and then skinned with 1/2 ply. May look into a canopy since it's in a living room with a TV and don't want light spillage.

I made my canopy frame from 1.5" x 1.5" PVC so water won't have any affect on it. I did use plywood for the top and did the sides with fabric that matches the tile on the top of the stand and the formica that make up the sliding front doors of the stand. They do light up from inside, but I think it looks cool and it's unique and the dim light added to the room isn't a problem for us. Good luck.
 
hang a board that is painted white from the celing with drywal screws then use hooks to hang the light
