Light hanging question

I wanna hang my 6x54w t5 48" nova extreme from my basement ceiling.

It's gonna hang from 2 by 4 studs.....the studs are gonna be nailed between vertical beams.

Are all hanging kits universal?
Is there different means of hanging lights from ceiling?
What make is best?

Pls advice,thx!

Problem with those hangers is that it dosent fit all tanks.


Youy can get it the exact way you want with a quick and easy diy.

Metal conduct from home depo and a pipe bender
Cost me about 30$ including the black spray paint.
