Yeah hard to say due to lighting but it does look like its a DIY bracket made with small pipes and elbow joints.

Something like that can be assembled pretty quickly, the type of piping used isn't that thick so its easy to cut even with a handsaw. Metal brackets screwed into the back of the stand to hold in place, if you know an electrician or maybe they can bend at home depot electric conduit could be used as a hanger as well, thats if its LED's or halides, conduit might be to flimsy for a big t5 fixture.
I went ghetto with my current LED setup, I bought a shelf bracket from home depot 16" or 18" fits about perfect with my tank being about 6" off the wall.

Thanks for the link jody. I will def research it before I purchase...last thing I need is for my new led fixture to fall in.
Squid I was thinking far more ghetto than that lol, like I have a couple bricks with holes in them that I can stick a metal tube through. But I guess ill take a look at home depot tomorrow.
What do you guys think of a pvc setup(sturdiness wise, not how ugly its going to be haha)

16"-24" LED or halide should be fine on pvc, might not to be bad if you paint it and no bright lighting in the room its in lol.
you could always look into banner stands or pipe and drape units might find them on classifeds somewhere on the cheap

Jody those arr some really good ideas. I like the pipe and drape stand for a temporary kind of thing.
I googled some DIY hanging led jobs and found some really slick looking results. Alot of them used the electric conduit/pipe idea that squid mentioned. This with one of those sunsomething retractable hanging wires would be amazing for me. Wouldnt be such a massive pain everytime I had to do something inside the tank.
