Hey all,

So I currently have 2 brand new XR15's on individual mounts over my new 150g. Now that my wallet has recovered from the initial purchase of the tank, I'd like to buy several more and switch to a rail system. My issue is that the standard rail arms simply will not work with my tank:

My tank has a heavy duty glass top because my 20lb cat dreams of being a fisherman. There are 8 inch deep glass panels on either end of my tank to support the lid. My current mounts work work because they're on the back; I can scoot the lid forward to make room for clamps. But the sides are a no-go. Something could sit on top, but there's no rim to clamp to.

Are there alternative RMS mounts for Ecotech Radions, or am I stuck drilling my ceiling for a hanging kit? :(

Thanks in advance for the help!
 
for the two arm kit, the clamp is not essential, you can rest the L bracket right over the sides of the tank.
