Apollo LED

I'm going to say no

That could be debatable. Looking on the spread of the lights you would have to raise them to above 40 inches to cover the entire tank that is 36 wide. If you run two of them even at 12: high you cover the entire tank but your par could be actualy excessive especialy for the Acans.

Unfortunatly I have not seen any comercial LED light yet designed for a large surface are on a shallow tank like many of us use for ***s.

First off, my Apollo’s were going in a canopy, so the cable hangers weren’t going to work. I have the “older” non-controllable Apollo’s that have the four eyebolts for clipping to the cables (the newer ones have 6mm studs that attaches to adjustable cables).

Anyway, what I did was pick up offset aluminum angle at HD and attached it to the eyebolts using #8 machine bolts. The angle gave the clearance necessary for the wires and switches.



These were then bolted to two fir strips that were mounted on the open top of the canopy. The open top of the canopy allows the fans on the fixtures to suck in fresh air.
