Lighting Brackets T5

SaltmanBasssa · 08/27/2018, 07:01 PM

Looking to mount T5/Hybrids onto rimless tank - no ceiling to hang from

Kits are available:

https://premiumaquatics.com/products...re-hanger.html

However, this is an established tank, no space to get behind it and secure using this solution.

Looking to install 48" ATI or Reef Brite on 59" Reefer 450. Can use arms on rear of tank, or side mount.

Any ideas? Would rather not build a hood.

Thanks!

Have you guys seen this bracket -

Would you trust it to hold a T5 4bulb/LED Hybrid? Doesn't seem very sturdy?

The zinc and steel alloy would have me concerned for eventual corrosion.
