Boom

No more chewed up fingers from the Frankenstein bolts

Takes up half the space and allows access to aio chambers

Securely Attach and remove Light from frameless glass tanks in 1/2 second

I came up with the idea. @stoney7713 brought it to life.


Able to reduce From 2” protrusion down to 5/8”

Per the item webpage - Glass Thickness: 8mm

I measured 5/16ths of an inch with a ruler which seems to convert to 8mm.

Tank is an IM 25 Lagoon

Will say this bracket is strong and sturdy

It was challenging to get the 4 screws in. @stoney7713 you may want to retest with the factory screws I feel like it’s the tiniest bit too tight for them. I almost stripped the heads

I wonder if they might of used different screws. While I didn't test yours in particular, I did several prototypes and while tight they weren't head stripping tight.

I'll see if I can't run a tap through them though, maybe that will help.

Mine don't seem to be that difficult to manipulate as of yet, but I've only had the light for ~8 months
