Help mounting another led bar

[Rosengrant826]

Please help me. Current have this setup and my orphek bar is zip tied to my kessils mounts.

I want to add another bar out front.

Anyone have ideas ? Maybe remove mounts and hang everything from the ceiling ?

Ps. Don’t mind the dirty glass

Since you already have 4 lights, how about making a T-Slot mounting frame for everything. Frame can be attached to the cabinet to take the weight off the glass and you can add all the stuff you want on it.

Definitely a frame would be my go to. If you dont want to spring for 8020 you could use aluminum angle iron. Easy to drill and bolt together. Use stainless hardware.

I would go with a new Aluminum extruded mount having all that weight to the back glass is not good
the weight of the Orphek bar alone is crazy

@Velcro could you make a mount for this situation?

Tossed another kessil on.


Now do I just get two more of these or another orphek bar ?

Going to end up ordering some 80/20

Not to hijack your post but did the led bar add more pop to your corals?

Yes not a huge amount but noticeable.
