It's too late for me to take a pic, but I'll get one and post it here tmrw. My fans are mounted on wire housings, and then laid on the tank's edge and lights to achieve that 45 degree angle.
Hi Folks,
I'm currently using blu-tac to secure DIY DC fans to the edge of the tank. The blu-tac is not secure enough and it's hard to achieve a 45 deg angle to the water (I realise a tilted fan blowing at the water is much more effective than blowing across the water surface).
Any good idea and photo to show ?
KF (Juggler) : I remember seeing your rows of DIY fans. Impressive.
Thks.

What I did was to use 3 strips of acrylic to secure them. The broadest piece as the base and the 2 narrow ones as a supporting triangle and securing piece for the fans (with the fan screws). The 3 acrylic pieces are basically a broad base, a narrow right angle strip, and a 45 degree strip which is the support for the fans. The whole setup is mounted to the tank's rear edge using mounting tape. Hope the pic help.

This is how I did to my 2 ft tank. Hope this will help.
