I'm upgrading my 2 radions with a Aquatic Life Hybrid T5 fixture and I have to wall mount the entire lighting fixture, as I have high vaulted ceilings. I'm looking for suggestions for mounting brackets for this fixture for a wall mount. I'd like to avoid the "2 standard shelving bracket" look. Is there anything out there some one could suggest?
Thanks in advance.

I've seen a few people use TV wall mounting brackets. Here is one example:

A lot of people use metal pipe conduit they bend and shape to make work.

But here is my favorite. Took me a while to find it but take a look here. I realize everyone's style and tastes differ, but I thought this one was pretty good looking.

OMG... the pipe fixture mount. Brilliant. I absolutely love it! I installed a cat trail along the top of our ceiling all along every wall at the top, hundreds of feet of it (which ironically the cats now refuse to use), all mounted with that EXACT pipe. I kid you not. Why didn't I think of this in the first place??? Thanks DBL!

If I ever end up with a tank against the wall, I too will be stealing the idea...lol. Good luck putting it together and post some pictures here of what you end up with.

I built these for my 60" ATI but they might be to much like a shelve mount for you. I'm gonna paint them the same color as my wall.

I did this with my AquaticLife hybrid set up... still planing to run my cables through my wall behind the tank to create a cleaner look once I have my LEDs in place on the fixture.
