DIY Hydra 26 HD mount

[kyle jaquez]

My first post here, so here it goes. One day I was tired of looking at my kessil mount for my aquarium. Which is a IM fusion 20 gallon peninsula. As I just bought a new hydra 26 HD I thought it would be time to upgrade. Sadly I don't have clearance to hang things on the back of my aquarium due to the fact that's it's a peninsula aquarium so I decided to make something else. More of a wall mount. Heres some pictures. Also I made the stand to match the wall and make it look as if it's part of the wall.

If everyone likes what I did I can try to throw something more together about how I built the stand.

Really good idea! Are you able to adjust the height or is it locked where it is?

It is locked where its at I can cut a larger one if I want it taller. The metal piece from lowes was 8ft.
