think if there is reinforcement, it should be ok. If normal false ceiling, i will advice not to proceed. Just my 2 cents worth opinion. : )

By the way, welcome back after your decom in 2005. : )

You'll probably need a wall plug like those used for board walls, so the screw won't fall out.

Moi advise...Don't !!!...cos it's weight is damn heavy & may fall off the false ceiling one day. I've personally witness the same unit that came crashing down in an LFS even though it was fixed to a high ceiling. Fortunately, nobody got hurt even though I was about 6 feet away from the 'crash site'. Phew !

Thanks for your feedback guys..... but hang on normal ceiling shouldn't be a problem rite? If not no choice, must let it sit on the tank. My main concern is its weight. My tank is a 10mm thick glass, is it able to support its weight?

direct to ceiling is ok but must use proper plugs to secure and ensure it can sustain the weight of your lightset. To rest on your tank, thinkness is one thing to consider and another thing to consider is whether your tank has any bracing to reinforce the integrity of the tank. For this, think only experienced reefer and tank maker can advice. All the best.
