ATI Straton Hanging Options

[tankreefer]

I need some help with mounting options for my two ATI straton lights. I’m trying to avoid hanging them from the ceiling with the conventional hanging kit. I’m looking for some wall mount options or something to hang from my rimless tank. Any assistance?

Depended on how far away from the wall the tank is. I've seen people use L brackets for shelving used to hang lights if you don't want to hang from ceiling

You could do something like this or similar setup with wall mounting instead of legs going down.

I figured it out. 8020 and 2020 extrusion.

Why was this an emergency?

Haha it wasn’t, no clue why it got labeled as that. Wondered the same myself. Maybe the mods?

Mods you can close.

No blood no foul.

Thanks it’s been several months of work and planning to get to this stage

Made my own DIY refugium in the return chamber section as well. I’ll put some sand, and cheato in there since I’m going bare bottom.

Could you please list the 8020 parts that you used to mount your Straton lights. Are the top light brackets 8020 material

The ATI brackets are custom 3d printed
Then I used .5mm wire to double secure the lights and looped them through the 2020

You will need a bunch of small washers to make it tight and support the weight too
