This is some of my little diy project (not the tank) . Waiting for the tank, it is a UNS tank 68G 22x36x22. Everything will be up in October.
First time build so the stand does not look so nice :)

Looks good to me. Better than I could have done.

Diy 20 long sump build.
Planning for an sps dominant so the light going to be 36” hybrid 4bulb t5 + 2 radion 30xr.
The approximate weights: 12.5lbs (fixture) + 15lbs (2x radion) = 27.5lbs
DIY hanger:
I did not want to drill the wall, so I built my own hanger from 3/4 EMT conduit
Using a bender to make 90degree bend.
Hanging directly into the back of the stand
**TESTED: hold up to 40lbs without problem ( using some weight at home)
The height of the hanger is about 40” from the stand top
Tank’s height is 22” so having around 18 inches from the arm to the tank.
Current fixture is just for testing
