In my opinion, the cleanest look would be to find 2 clean angled black brackets and mount it flush for each light. The eyelets look like they are screwed in, so you can find screws that match the thread and screw the brackets flush. To acclimate corals lower intensities and slowly raise over a month. Try to find a metal shop or go look at Home Depot or lowes and look for just a clean "L" shape and you can paint them a nice black hammer tone to match your tank.

Well a nice clean look is 1" sst tube welded up and mounted to your stand on the back side 1 for ea light like I did then you also have something to zip tie all the wires to on the back side of the tube for the nice clean look

Easiest way it to bend some conduit and paint it black and mount to stand

@ anarchy is right I guess it comes down to what your willing to send.

I did 1/2" conduit with some rustoleum spray paint. Worked really well.

turned out good, back them lights down to 40 /50 % cause they will bleach out corals when you load it up. just hooked up 4 of them and there working great so far.
