mounting

I got a little carried away with my coral gum on this torch frag (it's 30in down and hard to reach and see at the same time). It seems fine and extends well every day, but will this stunt future growth?

Hi reefers, just get started with Acro, and I would like to get some suggestions on mounting. I will be upgrading in a few years, and don’t plan to carry the aquascape over, so would like the Acros to be removable. Aquascape has pre-drilled holes that can be used to mount frags. What’s the...

Does anyone have any tips on mounting Orpheks or3 bars to radions. I’m thinking the track from radions and mounting the Orpheks to the radions with bars? Any other ways will greatly be appreciated

I am currently working on changing the lighting above my tank and I decided that it would look much better if i hung it from my ceiling, but it is vaulted which makes it more complicated. What is the best way for me to make sure that the position of the two mounts is in the right spot? I...

Hello! I am new to the hobby and am in the process of planning out my first reef tank. The tank that I have selected is 48" long and 24" wide and 20" tall with two flexible return pump discharge points in the middle back of the tank. I am very interested in the Vortech MP40 powerheads but I...

I got this kessil H80 with 12” gooseneck for a pretty good price and would really like to use it for a refugium. Trouble is I have no idea where to mount it. I believe the best place will be where the space where to bio block, but open to any other ideas. Tank is a pro clear 150. Any ideas...

A Kessil AP9X setup for sale with only a few hours put on it. Great for SPS, Clams and mixed reef tanks needing some punch for growth but too strong for my shallow tank setup so I ended up going with lower powered A360x Tuna blues. This comes with the Kessil mounting arm as well. Like New...

I just got this 27W sterilizer. I have it mounted with the clips. The problem is the manufacturer says to mount it with the inlet/outlet point straight up. The clips are poorly made and do not securely tighten the UV sterilizer, it kind of rests on them. So I need some help here: 1. Can I...

okay r2r I need some help from the people lol. I have a 75 gallon all sps system going up. I just got my new 48 inch t5 giesmann 8 bulb fixture in and considering I’ve used the el cheapo Amazon version in the past… this things way heavier. I NEED MOUNTING OPTIONS!! I’ve considered rim mount on...

Someone close to me is selling AI Hydra 64 HD’s for 200 a piece and I’m looking to upgrade from my crappy black boxes, but have no clue how to space them or how to mount them on a standard 75 gallon. All the mounts I’ve seen are only for rimless tanks. Thanks for any help in advance.

I’m looking for an attractive way to mount a pair of VitalWave 9w E26 bulbs (regular screw in size bulbs for those of you in America) on a Red Sea XL200. Anyone have any suggestions? Considering some kind of gooseneck mounts that I have installed as fixtures on the wall above the tank, but I...

Hello all! A customer of mine is building a tank into a wall. I ordered him 2 hydra 64hds but they are out of mounting kits and im horrible with coming up with diy set ups. I can however follow instructions very well. Can you guys please bounce some ideas off of me for mounting set ups? Water...

Does anyone have any idea what size these mounting screws are for the hydra 26? It’s the silver screw in the picture that mounts it to the bracket on the aquatic life T5 hybrid fixture. I just got a used hydra 26 to add to the two I already have and I can’t find the specs anywhere for the screw...

I have 2 lights and wondering if there's a way to mount both together, in market or diy. Also I dont really want to drill in the roof or anything fancy, just a clamp on mount. Thanks

I originally posted in the equipment thread but someone directed me here... I bought a glass skimmer from a fellow reefer and need to fabricate some kind of mount for it. At the moment while I'm testing it out I've cobbled together a suction cup and ponytail holder contraption you can see below...

Hello, So I'm about to unbox my 6x39w hybrid ATI powermodule and install it. I've done a quick search online and i saw that some users recommended/used the Aquatic Life Universal Hanger (pictured below) to mount their hybrid T5/LED fixtures. However, this hanger is rated for 10lbs on each...

HI R2R, I just purchased my 5 stage RODI unit and have the perfect (only) place for it in my basement next to the sole utility faucet in my home - but there is a snag. One thing I forgot to consider is that the walls of my basement are stone. All stone. Nowhere for screws or fasteners to be...

Has anyone tried to epoxy or glue small pieces of rock rubble to the tank glass to support corals that need to be separate ..... also directly to the bottom glass for rock stability in the build of a new aquascape and which product was successful, gel or 2 part epoxy

Hey Guys and Gals, I am about to start setting up my RO/DI Water storage room and was wondering about heating. Couple of questions... First off I live in Nashville Tennessee area so you know the climate. I will be running two 105G Water storage tanks. Tall and thin. What type of heater should...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of mount for the Kessils BRS used in their in depth look at Kessils at 12:57 (Video: ). It looks awesome and with 6 kessils over my 180 the goosenecks make everything look very cramped unorganized so I was trying to find a mount...

I'm starting a new build on a 150g. I'm trying to figure out the best way to mount Geisemann VerVve lighting to a hood. I'm thinking some type of tracks that will be attached to the "studs" in the hood. Is there any guidance on exactly how to do this? Thanks

I have an open design Innovative Marine APS stand that I am trying to fit with a mounting board for my Apex and other equipment. I have a thin 12" x 24" piece of plywood I was planning on mounting in a way similar to the picture below, but I am still trying to think of the best way to mount it...

I have a 29 Gallon standard aquarium. It does not have a sump and is filtered by a CPR Bak-Pak Skimmer and a Tidal 55 HOB filter. The next piece of equipment I would like to add is a UV Sterilizer. Most of the "better" UV filters seem to be large and would work best with a plumbed system...

I wanted to share the way I mounted my new Mitras with the Vervve mounts. I ruled out the hanging kit and the Flex Mounts for various reasons. I think this turned out really well and honestly, I like it better over the other 2 options. Front View by dangros posted Jul 15, 2017 at 8:42 AM...
