I have 39-inch blades on my Waterbox 150.4, and they JUST fit a 48.2-inch tank. I stretch the mounts a tiny bit to go edge to edge. I am thinking of the AI Blade Elevated Tank Mounts, and this brings up my question: are they the same length as the flush mount, or are they shorter/longer? Longer would be great. Shorter would be a problem
 
i can measure mine and let you know. I bought 2 sets and used 1 for like a week and decided to hang the lights and never opened the other pack. I will get you a number in a little bit but from memory of last week I think the elevated mounts dont stretch as far but that could be just an illusion to me since alot of it is metal bar to make up the length and not all acrylic like the flush mounts
 
I just went and checked. they are basically both exactly the same length. So you would not gain any extra length with the raised legs.

Pic of hanging lights? I have a 12" and was thought about just a simple ceiling mount.

I 3D printed a mount that is on thingiverse and I hung them with an adjustable setup I had laying around

They are a tiny bit shorter but work well, I am thinking of a way to lock them in place with a m8 nylon bolt but not sure if I need it
