Not 100% done in the last pic, Doesn't show the trim that conceals the cords running down the wall.

Are you supporting the entire fixture from those four small channel screws on the 360 plate? They're only meant to stop lateral movement of the bracket, not to support any type of weight long term. Just trying to avoid a splashy splashy in the future if so! Great idea to use a TV mount.

Hi @Kyl ! When I originally assembled it, I did use the supplied screws from Aquatic Life. After The guys at Aquatic Life saw the pics, they suggested using a longer screw for more thread engagement. I never had any issues with the way it was, but figured it was a good idea just to have a little longer fastener in it.

Did you ever had any problem with the glass pressure? I fear that with time it could crack the glass since i have it on a rimmed tank and had to remove the padding that it came with.
