Please note, I am going to paint the conduit bar white so it's not so ugly.

I have a 24LX20HX18D 3/8" rimless custom glass tank going in here with 2 drilled 1/2" bulk holes, screw those Lily silly pipes ADA makes, I've never liked them.
PITA to clean, easy to break, cost too much, hard to get to fit some tanks.

I just drill the holes and plumb the canister through the bottom of the tank, no hoses and other garbage in the way.

Here's the bending tool:



And the brackets holding the conduit to the stand.

The light weighs about 2-3 lbs, and is very easy to adjust up and down(150w HQI) and ran about 135$ with ballast/bulbs handing kit, nice clip on legs. Excellent deal.



Several folks have detailed using the conduit in the past, I chose to alter the bends to better suit the design and layout I like.

You can bend various patterns if you play around.

Enjoy
