I have a canopy for my tank but I really don’t want to Use the canopy or hang the light. I would like to leave the canopy off of the tank and mount the light with two mounting arms but I am not sure how to go about that.

It is 31.5” x 8.5” x 2.4” and it weighs 15 1/2 pounds.

The Viparspectra is similar to the Mars Aqua so if you google the Mars Aqua mounting arm you likely will come up with some DIY options. Good luck!

Thank you so much! I love a good DIY project but it does not hurt to ask your friends if anyone else has already done it and give yourself a Headstart.

I will need to hang the same light shortly.
Unfortunately, I can't hang mine from the ceiling above. I'll need some kind of
wall mount for mine.

I was thinking a 80/20 style mount that will slide up and down for access and adjustability, but I get lost just looking at the choices there.
