Ok, so I ordered 4 Evergrow LEDs, they are the exact same thing as the Reef Breeders value lights. I need some ideas on how to mount them on my tank. I don't want to hang from the ceiling. If yall could post pics of how you have yours mounted, that would be great.

Conduit is your friend in this situation. I have used 1/2" conduit that's just mounted on one side of the tank to support one or two of those units. More than two though and the conduit needs to be mounted on both sides of your stand. I'm currently about to do that for my 40 breeder. Just buy the conduit bender, make your few bends then return the thing. No need to spend $40 to just make 2-4 bends.
