Was unable to find instructions on how to setup the mount. I think it would be a good idea to take a few pictures and give a quick rundown and post here for everyone wondering.

Funny, mine arrived today without instructions. Looking at the picture, all of the pieces except the little 'clips' seemed pretty obvious. So thank you for posting this.
I need to drill the back my reefer cabinet and need to make sure I pick a spot that doesn't interfere with the plumbing.
Hmmn. I have a Reefer 450 - the front pane is floating, it lines up flat with the front of the doors, is not supposed on front. At least on the 450 this makes the back glass flush with the stand, and not overhang.
- On a Red Sea Reefer, the front and glass glass pane overhang the stand, so you need washers or spacers to push the mount away from the stand. Depending on your glass, this could be 1/2" or 5/8"

That is interesting for sure - I had not heard of this, but I don't think I've seen a 170 in person. I appreciate your feedback on this. Sounds like 170/250 owners will have to use some washers/spacers to alleviate that, if they took the same approach of hanging the back over. Which I probably would've done as well.On my 170, both the front and rear pane float off the glass equally. I was a bit surprised by this, having only see references to the front pane floating. Maybe it's unique to smaller models, most people who buy Mitras will have the larger reefers. I just googled this and it appears people are doing both with the 170/250. Either having both the front + back pane float, or align the back to the stand and have the front pane and part of the bottom overhang. Having the bottom entirely on the stand seemed safer to me than 10mm of the bottom overhanging the stand.
I'm assuming you spoke with @Vinny@GHLUSA or @Cristina@GHLUSA - That is correct, an update/second model is planned that will allow mounting of the light perpendicular to the tank.The rep at the Fauna Marin booth said an update to the flex mount that would allow you to rotate the light 90 degrees, so it would be in the same direction as if it was hanging. I assume that information is correct and if so, some day in the future, you'll post an update in the forums here.
