So I need some help, I’m looking for a way to hand lights over. 60 inch rimless peninsula tank. Was hoping to see if I could do something from one point instead of 2 hanging fixture kits on each corner.
My lights will be Aquatic life 60inch T5 hybrid with 3-4 ecotech lights. So I know there will be weight on it. Hanging from my ceiling isn’t a option since it’s way too high.

Any help is appreciated
 
Any idea what your total weight will be for that fixture? Also is there a wall stud in an acceptable location? I'm thinking you don't want a single point mount relying on wall anchors.
 
Well I was thinking like the photo if I could try and see if I can get away with something like that. Not trying to look to attach to wall weight wise I am guessing under 50
