The perfect light for a 40 breeder?

Gorgeous aquariums OMG!!

My issue with the ceiling hanging is
1. I am very short
2. Attic, so not sure if there will be a beam I can use.

However, I did see those wall mounting brackets, so I suppose I could use those if I wanted a hanging light instead. Those types do seem to be a little cheaper too from what I can see

Plant hooks do not require a stud, although they are compatible with drywall OR stud. Reef lights are not heavier than a pot with wet soil...and you'll generally have two hooks per fixture so the weight is divided.

If you DID want to hang something heavy enough to worry about, then you could first screw a board into the studs over the area you want the lights, then the plant hooks are affixed to the board.

I can't help with being short, but that's what ladders are for! :)

Using a fixture that sits simply on the tank rim may be a better fit for you, but if you want hanging lights and don't want to get up on a ladder, calling a handyman is still an option.
