Aquatic Life Debuts LED/T5HO Hybrid Mounting System Fixture Reef Hobbyists Have Been Waiting For!

[rbadger]

Wondering if the Kessil mounting arms (not gooseneck) would be sufficiently strong to hold this up? I have two Kessil A360WE's on mounting arms and would love to reuse those mounting arms with this hybrid. Will it work OK?

I wouldn't trust that much pressure on glass, one bump into it and it could be snappy snappy.

 

[North Borders]

That sounds super risky. There's a decent amount of weight to the unit with the LEDs installed.

Mounted my AP700s today. I love this combination

What bulb combo did you do

Q-reefer, thats a light - light and rimless too ( heavy glass ) that's why you can get away with it. I too have kessils w/hard mounts but a 48" plus 2 360s Its a gamble I'm not willing to take. @rbadger check this out below for Ideas

Not sure if this question has been presented, but does AquaticLife ever plan on manufacturing a 60" model?

 

[Kyl]

They do, it's 61"

Have a 61" coming in today. Mine will house x4 AI Hydra HD 26s.

For the T5s I ordered x2 Blue +, x1 True Actinic, and x1 Coral+ (all ATIs)

Is there a need to upgrade the mounts for ceiling installation or will it all hold just fine?

This is my 61"

Can someone kindly post a drywall anchor that’ll support the 48” fixture and 2 radions?

 

[Jgao]

The 24" fixture is approximately 18" wide and 24" in length with the 7.25" opening down the middle. If you want to increase the width to operate the LED perpendicular you can add the 24" accessory plates and the 24" LED brackets, but I'm not sure you would need them.

We will be selling a mounting bracket that can mount to the aquarium stand in the next month or so, but we will not have a leg option mounted directly to the aquarium any time soon. Sorry.

Is this available now for the 48” fixture?

This is how I would do it, mabey look for an EYE bolt instead of the hook, a decora faceplate would be nice

Either one of these will work

 

[Shad Quill]

Either one of these will work

As long as you put the toggle on in the correct position.. Lol. Did you notice the white swivel hook?

 

[fastest302]

Yes I used that in the past when I had my light above my 120g and also a friend of mine is using that to told his ati fixture up
