Build a small canopy, if there is a shelf over the tank you could hang it by drilling hole in the reflector.

post a pic of what you have to work with. is it a canopy, is it JBJ style, you need to build a hood...

im not sure how to post a picture but my retro kit is just a 96 watt quad PC bulb with an electric ballast which has clips to be mounted onto something. The kit doesnt have a reflector. i was looking for a reflector but not just a flat reflector one that would shine the light directly on the tank, kinda like a metal halide fixture. Does anyone know where i could find one that would work.

As far as a canopy i think a 10 gal would look funny. Maybe because i havent seen a tank this small with one on. I would also be worried of the heat from the lights
thanks
