Csalt Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Have a picture? I can't figure out how it mounts to the tank. Link to comment
Kahmu84 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 i do, heres the closest pic i could get with out having to take a crappier pic and upload it lol the 2 screws go on the outside of the tank and i would recommend with the piece that slides in to the slot on the opposite side of the screws to be as tight as possible Link to comment
Csalt Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 I must be missing the piece that goes into that slot... Link to comment
spectra Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 I know you can order Daves lights for a rimmed tank or rimless. Did you get the light used? Probably was made for a rimless tank. I purchased a used light for my fuge and it was for a rimless tank. I was able to get it attached but not really pretty as I did not want to mess up the light mount or the plastic on the tank.

I got it during the Black friday sale. It's for a rimmed tank. I sent him an e-mail. I'll hear back from him tomorrow probably. Link to comment

Csalt Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 Have a pic of the mount? Ended up using a bunch of acrylic squares until I get the actual part I need. Light it 9" above tank. Link to comment
spectra Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Ok yeah that is way different than what I have. That is for sure a rimmed mount. Way to MacGyver it Link to comment
AlejandroDelRey Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I got a knife and just cut a section of the rim off LOL. Probably not what i should've done, but it worked. Link to comment
