Is it ok to rest a partial canopy on a rimless tank?

Is the light hanging from the ceiling studs? They will hold whatever weight you make it and you can sleep at night.

I have a board screwed into 4 ceiling studs and then the RMS hanging kit screwed into that board. I have no clue how much weigh the RMS hanging kit holds though.

I never asked, what is the purpose of this? To shade the lights for light bleed purposes?

Why not use very light plywood and suspend it from the the lighting bracket.
I did this at one point with an old tank.

Super cute, also feet.

I mean, I often lay on top of tanks when I’m working on them, and I weigh slightly more than 11lbs

On rimless tanks ?

it doesnt matter if rimmed or rimless, the verticle glass is supporting the canopy either way.
i had an oak 3 sided canopy on a 150 for light block.

I just rearranged my fish room and added a reclining chair to view the tanks. It sits pretty low and the lights shine right in my eyes. Also, Ignore my dirty tanks (currently elevating nutrients and dosing silicates to combat dinos)

What if I got a sheet of black acrylic cut to attach to the AI Blade's RMS mount?
Would that be UV/heat resistance enough to sit on/near the side of the AI Blade?

Do you have the rim support on all sides? Mine would be resting on my toplids acrylic lid.

Yes. Rim support on all four sides but it is light, weighs maybe 10 lbs. So I don't need four sides. A screen sits on top of the wood frame and is recessed. You don't want a lid on your tank blocking light.
