I need help mounting lights. I have a pair of the Current Usa Orbit Ic leds 48” and pair them with 2 Kessil A360XE. How can I do that? I wanna do the same thing like in the picture. With the Orbit leds in the front and back. And the 2 A360XE in between. I want to mount them from the back of the tank. Hanging them from the roof is not possible haha. Help and advice would be appreciated

If you are handy you can do it yourself. Just go get some 1.5"x .125" Aluminum from Home Depot and design a bracket. You'll also need a closet L- bracket to mount on the wall behind your tank since you don't want to use your ceiling, and a cable hanging kit.

Since no one has replied, I will take a stab at it. The 48" should have an L type bracket for them, search on Amazon. You will probably have to make or find a bridge or flat bracket to join the two 48s and then mount the middle light there. Let us know what you find.

What do you mean? The 48 inch has a L shaped mount you can buy, but it doesn’t give space for the A360xe to go in the middle if that makes sense.

These are the mounts for both of the lights. Maybe I can mount the Kessil a littler higher to fit between the Orbits?

Yes, I see now but let me ask why you wanted the middle light?
I absolutely love the features on the Orbit Ic leds and you can never go wrong with Kessil. Which is why if I put the 2 Kessils in between the Orbits, it’ll give it a cleaner look with a good amount of light for my corals too.
