Kessil gooseneck with euro bracing?

hlaalu · 06/11/2014, 10:39 PM

Is there any professional attachment/adapter/clamp that will allow me to use the kessil gooseneck with euro bracing, or do I need to rig something up? Been searching for hours.

Here's the tank, the bracing is about 2 1/2 or 3". Thanks in advance!

I am wondering this too.

The gooseneck itself is eurobrace compatible. The clamp can go on either of two sides. See 2:20 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjVWKsFARRs

HA! You are right, just looked mine and it has another mounting hole on the back, go figure. Thanks lol

OK I wanted to bump this. I hooked up the kessil to the euro bracing and I really don't like the amount of strain it puts on the bracing. When I hook up a second kessil I'm assuming it will be even worse. Am I being overly cautious and paranoid?

I have Kessils as well and the block they provide to wedge in between for tanks with euro bracings seem to be doing a good job. If not you can always go to lowes and buy a plastic block, drill and DIY

Are you talking about the small plastic thing that goes inside the bracket?

There's a lot of downward twisting pressure on the eurobrace, the Kessil acts like a big lever.

I wedged a couple thick tubes between the brace and overflow to act as support.
