The fixture at the show was a 36" unit and it was supported by the Halo arms. It did work but I do not like that much weight on the aquarium glass. It would be better to use a mount that attached to the stands to support the weight.

It would be great if you could make/design a matching mount that attaches to the stand. DIY mounts work to a certain degree but I don't have the skills to make them look sleek or the tools/skills to make them have adjustable heights.

That is the only thing holding me back on jumping on one.

We are still on track for an October launch. Should be closer to the middle of October.

Have you ever seen the universal mounts we sold a few years back for the T5 fixtures? Is that what you would be looking to use?

Yep, looking for something just like that but are those screw plates adjustable? Might be a bit too tall for my stand if those plates are soldered.

Also do those arms have extra slots/holes at the top to move the lights forwards and backwards to adjust to our tanks width?

If these are pretty versatile arms, sign me up for a fixture + arms. I've been thinking about hybridizing for a long time!

Let me see if I can find the instructions for the arms we stopped selling them, but I could start again if people will use them for the Hybrid.

The first post shows the hybrid mounting system hung by some mounting arms. Are those going to be the same as the universal mounting arms?

Those are our HALO mounting arms that I used at the show. They only attach to the frame of an aquarium and I would not feel comfortable long term to use them to support the T5 HO Hybrid fixture. The weight I think is too much for the glass.

Would the old universal mounts be a better option since it is attached to the stand? I know those are discontinued not, but I've managed to find one.
