Hi,

I finally got my fixture today.
It's a 36" Jebo 2X55W light, but I hit a snag.
It is 36" long but so it's my tank, so the fixture just sits on top of
the tank instead of having the little mounting tabs slide on the side
of the tank to secure and hold in palce the fixture.
So I need some kind of solution for this problem otherwise the fixture
might topple and fall in the tank.

I don't know where I can find mounting legs, so please help me find it,
or provide with some kind of solution that will hold the fixture in
place even if there's an earthquake. (I know I'm exagerating).

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

I built my 48" wooden hood so it overhangs my 48" tank slightly, and the
hood ends act as the tabs or legs you describe. Within the hood ends are
wooden rails that rest on the top of the tank ends and support the hood
and lights.

A simpler idea might be to attach plywood ends to your lights, that
extend down act as the tabs or legs you want. You might need to space
the plywood ends out from the lamp hosusing with more plywood, to make
things fit. For what it's worth.

I've been told that this fixture does not have mounting legs.

Bummer.
I need to find some kind of solution to get the fixture stable on top
of my tank.

I set my DIY and/or odd-sized fixtures on glass canopies.

I saw them on eBay at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=43632285 68

No connection to this vendor; never ordered from him so I can't recommend
him. I've just recently searched eBay endlessly looking for lights for a 55
and a 38 and noticed the legs. I have two Jebo/Odyssea 24" fixtures and
they both came with legs.

As the auction says it will not work on the older Jebo PC's

Have you considered covering the tank with a piece of glass and then putting
the light on that? That's what I do. Later!
