AI Hydra Mounting ideas...

[paronaram]

Hello Everybody,
Can someone point me to good DIY AI Hydra Mounting project idea ...
I am setting up 80G DeepBlue and I don't like the HMS brackets, I will need to keep the tank 4-5" away from wall

I was thinking maybe 80/20 hardware?

Thank you
Aram

1. What don't you like about the HMS mounts?
2. Are you looking for tank, wall, or ceiling mount?
3. How many lights and of which model are you mounting?

Thanks for reply pluikens!
1. I never owned HMS mounts, but I read allot of reviews and installation guides when people talking about that you need to keep tank away from wall to secure mounts, and I'm planing to have my tank flash
2. Stand mount, on the side... one stand pipe holding frame with 2x 26HDs (48x24 tank surface) Make it all black will look awesome
3. Two Hydra 26HD

80/20 Is definitely your best bet here, strong and light. You shouldn't need too much of it to get the job done.
