    Unfortunately, I don't have any I'm not using at the moment. While surfing around, I did find a clamp on light, I know you were looking for "easy". It comes with the wrong bulb, but you can get one from another supply house for $20 http://www.hellolights.com/hamilton-...t-pendant.aspx

    Yeah, I prefer the ones I have because they are less expensive, and have a good quality German made ballast. By hanging them, they are always out of the way, and easy to adjust the height for coverage.

    Yeah I understand, ill probably buy one of them soon as I get my wood from pc1. Can you give me some up close pics of the 240 where the wood is coming down and stuff like how you have it attached , and possibly video of the lights effect on tank?? Sorry if I'm asking for a lot.

    Well, it's hard to get a picture at the top of the 240 tank, because the rim of the tank stands a little over 6' tall. Yeah, I have a tall stand. But, here's another tank I have with the wood set up the same way so you can see how it's attached. The wood is just screwed to oak strips, and the strips hung onto the tank bracing. The glass tops were modified with shorter pieces of glass to fit behind the strips...
