So I just finished this project for a new light I got. I don't have a canopy and I'm in military housing so I couldn't hang it from the ceiling. I came up with this design and it turned out awesome. I had some extra 2x3 in the garage and I had to make it work. As you can see in the pictures my stand is a old office desk (extremely solid) I attached the main 2x3 to the desk itself in the back. You will see multiple places it connects for the added support. I did use heavy duty zip ties because that's what I had. They hold better than I thought. Adds to the DIY look lol feel free to comment or ask questions



I added this 45 degree piece for stability and to prevent any sag
I also added this small piece between the tank lip and the main 2x3 for bracing
