Bracket problem

[radkison]

So I bought 2 new Radion XR30
Lights and 2 RMS brackets. However I did not consider how littler room we have behind the tank to the wall. Just not white enough to twist the tightening screw and unfortunately this bracket does not allow the screw to be reversed to the inside of the tank. I have a rimless tank and I want them mounted to the back. Is there another bracket that may work?

Mount to the wall?

I had this issue with my first tank, the mounting screws that come with most mounts are quite long.

I figured out the threadsize and got much shorter hex bolts that managed to work.

Likely only other option, and best long term, is to drain the tank and move it about 4 inches from the wall. You'll want this space to do things anyway.

Find 2 nuts for the screw and jusr reverse with knob in tank and nut on the back. Should work.

Thinking some more. You could just put a nut on the front and tighten from there.
