gonebad395 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Hey guys after a long thought this is the light I'm going to put over my solana 34 gallon I'm startimg to build theis weekend. http://www.marinedepot.com/Reef_Brite_HyBrid_Metal_Halide175W_Mogul_Base_Pendant_with_XHO_LED_strips_Metal_Halide_LED_Combo-Reef_Brite-3M01103-FILTFIMHML-vi.html?utm_source=mdcsegooglebase2&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=mdcsegooglebase2&utm_content=3M01103&gclid=CIKT8aDZz9ECFQEzaQodAGYKnA Now my question is what are my mounting options I really don't want to hang it from my ceiling. That being said is there like a goose neck etc etc or any other ideas I would love to hear. This is going to be a open top so if you guys find pics of mounting ideas please post links it will help me out greatly. Link to comment
spectra Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Nice light! And as for a ceiling mount the only other thing I can think of is some kind of bracket off the back of your stand. I don't think they make a gooseneck that would hold that thing. I am hanging one off of something like this. Link to comment
gonebad395 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 Thanks man I'm hoping it will be all I need for clams and sps in a 20x20x20 tank. Did you make that, if not where did you buy it? Also would you mind showing me where it connects to the tank or stand? And it's cool as hell btw. Link to comment

That one went into a piece of steel as the stand was metal also. It was adjustable up and down. I also have one on a garage tank that just has a flat plate that screwed into a 2x3 that was on the back of the stand. You may even be able to make something out of pipe you can get threaded at Home Depot or Lowes. I have seen a few that look good. Why not off the ceiling? My ATI is mounted that way and love it.

gonebad395 Posted January 20, 2017 Author Share Posted January 20, 2017 I'm a ironworker so I weld and work with metal all day so that's a plus. Yours looks great btw and with the ceiling idk just kinda like the stand mounting ceiling would be last resort. Link to comment
