Hello everyone,

I need some help on how to hang my new fixture (giesmann infiniti)

Here is my current set up

However, this is now mainly an sps display and I want to get rid of the leds.

So, here is the new light

And the hardware that came with it

So, how do I get this above my tank? I am thinking I would prefer to hang from wall bc I live in a condo that I lease.
I am not a big DIYer, but I did build the stand and lighting hanging kit on the first photo. I just need good clear directions.

Please help!!! I want to get this new light up!!!!

And here is a new stick pick up

I had similar hanging equipment, and I used 3/4 emt conduit. Use the bender to get the correct angle, and you don't want it 90 degrees, a little less. They sell similar poles for AquaticLife lights like mine. I fastened the conduits to the back of the stand and have worked perfect and saved a ton of money.
 
If I were you I would stick with what you have, because if your's is like the one we built for a friend of ours you have the ability to swing the light out of your way for maintenance. All I would do with your is paint it black and call it done!!!

Question though, why the switch from LED's? They have no issues growing SPS if you have a quality LED setup, cheaper bill, cooler... etc. the list goes on. So what made you want to switch?
