When I bought my 120g tank, it came with Ocean Revive lights and a big wooden hood. I like the more open look and have been thinking/working on a replacement solution for a while.

It's not 100% done, but here is my 3D printed/Ikea solution:

It is built around 11" Ikea bookshelf brackets, 1" square aluminum extrusions and 3D printed brackets (custom fit for these Ocean Revive lights, for now). I'm still working on the cable management (I'll have a cable channel between or behind the black tubes to clean it up more.)

The cool thing about this setup is I can easily switch lights later by printing new brackets. A few more angles:

If anyone is interested, I'm happy to share more construction details and 3D models.

The second set of cords coming off each light is the 0-10v control from my Apex to the Ocean Revive lights, see my other thread on that if you're interested.
