I feel like they are right where I would want to put the lights for an even spread, which I'm guessing would effect the lights some....but then again I guess that would effect any light I use. I use the flex arm on my IM Lagoon 25. Very sturdy haven’t had an issue with it. Overall great light and mount Quote Link to comment

Overall great light and mount My concern isn't so much with mounting the light, its that the brace that goes across the tank will block some light from the tank, and they are evenly spaced brace, 3 of them. So if I did two lights, they would both be over braces if I wanted them symmetrical on the tank, and if I did 3 lights they would all be over a brace too. You can see what I'm talking about in this picture. Maybe I'm over thinking it like I tend to do. Quote Link to comment

You mean the support braces? They will effect lighting with any light. Quote Link to comment

When I do my 75 i'm going to use two prime hds and play the support brace. I'm going to make two islands and have the sand bed open in the middle where the brace is. Go for a nice clean look. This way I can have low light corals up the middle. 1 Quote Link to comment

That's exactly what has to be done with tanks with the support bars. You just gotta work around it, it's not impossible, it's being creative and thinking outside the box😁 1 Quote Link to comment

Its a long way away but I have an idea that should be fun. :-) Quote Link to comment
