DIY Floating Light Mount! The ultimate peninsula light stand explained.

After getting a ton of question on my light mount i decided to do a video explaining it all.

Let me know if you guys have any questions

I have a 90 gal wave tank and my husband is looking to mount a couple of Mars Aqua 165 watt LED lights above the tank. Any recommendations? Where did you get the materials that you used to make your brackets? Live about 1 1/2 hours away from you. Thanks.

I'm in Canada and ordered from a place in Calgary I used 15 series on my tank it you "may" want to do 20 series for xr30s. I believe the weight on the 4 xr15 was 18-20 lbs as a reference

@shiftline where in Calgary did you buy all this? Hoping they are still around so I can source for a new build locally

Still going strong! I fact I’m doing an upgrade soon and moving the light bar to the new one!

Lighting schedule. I did post the file on ReefDudes.com if you search for radion or schedule it should come up

I believe the place I ordered that parts from was CPI automation
