and an adjustable lamp tube holder comprising a pivot shaft inserted into said coupling hole in said coupling tube and kept in friction engagement with said positioning means, a lamp tube holder shell for holding a lamp tube, and a neck connected between the periphery of said pivot shaft and a back side of said lamp tube holder shell and inserted through said longitudinal opening of said bracket. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said clamping member comprises a first sloping wall obliquely extended from one lateral side of said elongated base frame, a pressure plate disposed in proximity to an opposite lateral side of said elongated base frame and defining with said opposite lateral side of said elongated base frame said clamping mouth, and a second sloping wall obliquely connected between said first sloping wall and said pressure plate. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein said clamping member further comprises an auxiliary clamping plate located at an inner side of said first sloping wall and kept in proximity to said elongated base frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said bracket further comprises a mounting means connected to said clamping member for mounting. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein said mounting means is a vacuum mount. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said positioning means of said bracket comprises a plurality of longitudinal positioning teeth spaced around the inner perimeter of said coupling tube within said coupling hole; said pivot shaft of said adjustable lamp tube holder is peripherally toothed for friction engagement with said longitudinal positioning teeth of said bracket. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 2, wherein said positioning means of said bracket comprises a plurality of longitudinal positioning teeth spaced around the inner perimeter of said coupling tube within said coupling hole; said pivot shaft of said adjustable lamp tube holder is peripherally toothed for friction engagement with said longitudinal positioning teeth of said bracket. ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 3, wherein said positioning means of said bracket comprises a plurality of longitudinal positioning teeth spaced around the inner perimeter of said coupling tube within said coupling hole; said pivot shaft of said adjustable lamp tube holder is peripherally toothed for friction engagement with said longitudinal positioning teeth of said bracket. ### Claim 9 (depends on 4) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 4, wherein said positioning means of said bracket comprises a plurality of longitudinal positioning teeth spaced around the inner perimeter of said coupling tube within said coupling hole; said pivot shaft of said adjustable lamp tube holder is peripherally toothed for friction engagement with said longitudinal positioning teeth of said bracket. ### Claim 10 (depends on 5) The aquarium lamp bracket assembly as claimed in claim 5, wherein said positioning means of said bracket comprises a plurality of longitudinal positioning teeth spaced around the inner perimeter of said coupling tube within said coupling hole; said pivot shaft of said adjustable lamp tube holder is peripherally toothed for friction engagement with said longitudinal positioning teeth of said bracket.
