I'm just about finished building a custom wall mount for a pair of LED lights to put over our new tank. We have one Hydra 26HD on the way, and I'm on the lookout for another. We have a Waterbox Marine X 90.3 (36" long / 20" wide / 22" tall). I know there's not one perfect answer, but could anyone offer a recommended height we should mount these at? The problem with the custom mount option is, it's not exactly easy to go higher once I mount it on the wall, but lowering the lights from the mount shouldn't be too difficult.

Thanks!
 


You' ll need to compensate for 24" vs 20" width.
