Lighting survey. How do you mount yours?
I am in the planning stages for a new tank, probably 72Lx36Wx27H and have been researching lighting. It is amazing to me how many lighting manufacturers do not include any easy to use hardware to mount their fixtures inside a canopy. I see plenty of legs included, and cable systems to hang from a ceiling overhang, but not much else other than the occasional eye hook. The same, i guess, could be said about canopy manufacturers. They don't really make them tall enough to mount lighting inside, nor do they include any provisions to do so ( fan holes, mounting brackets, hardware, etc.
So here's my question, how are your lights mounted?

Also meant to ask, any suggestions on what fixture / ballast / bulb combo would be good for a tank this deep and wide? It will be mostly SPS....Maybe I should start a new thread for that question..
Thanks.
