I had trouble deciding if I should put this in here or in the DIY Section. Decided it would be more useful here.
I have clip on work lights I got from Lowes with CFLs. I didn't like clipping them to the back of the tank and it was hard to get even coverage over the entire tank. So I made an adjustable light stand. I still need to paint it.
All parts were left overs from other home improvement projects so it didn't cost me any thing to do this and it took just a couple hours.
This shows the construction I used to provide stability to the stand
Adjustments in height are made by retracting the adjustable curtain rod and re-extending the rod at new location. I used a paddle bit to drill holes every 2 inches, lights can be adjusted to sit almost directly on the top of the tank up to one foot above the tank.
