ATI T-5 users question

[TDTA1181]

Those who have these fixtures & also use Reef-Bright LED's is there an actual mount you can't use to attach it to the ATI fixture? If not & you have came up w/ you own, could you post a picture or describe how you have ure LED mounted. Thanks

I just bought a 48" x 1" piece of flat stock 1/8" aluminum. I measured out for the 3 screws in the top of the fixture (per side) and the hanging wire slots. Cut and drilled to those measurements. It overhangs in front and back about 2.5" each way, and I used the stock mounts on the ReefBrite XHO fixture to bolt into my aluminum. I will try to get some pics up for you if I remember.

Thanks, that'd be helpful. I got an understanding of what u did but the pictures would be great.

the reefbrite should fit right on.

I've seen lots of guys with fancy ways of attaching them but I don't understand that at all. Just flip the bracket that comes with the RB around, take out the front two lower screws on the ati fixture and then screw them back in with the brackets.

That works too! Unfortunately, I did not have the room in front to attach mine that way. My canopy front slides up and off to give me full access in front, and the ReefBrite fixture interferes with that movement.

Wow, that looks to easy, I guess I was just over thinking it.

I did the same thing with mine except I had to make holes in my fixture to attach to. I run a Tek elite not an ati.

Takes about two minutes.

I did the exact same thing. Called RB, they told me it attaches straight away. Saw those other threads with all the crazy mods everyone has done and hemmed and hawed -- waited a couple weeks -- bought self tapping screws and all that. Got home, looked at everything and laughed at myself for how reluctant I was in the first place.
