I have two of these on order with the recent promotions, but noticed that they don't come with any mounting hardware. Has anyone found anything online or a Big Box store that will work to mount them? I am mounting them in a Red Sea 300XXL and a 350XXL so the in cabinet space is a little limited. I am open to any suggestions on the best way to handle it.

Do not buy them.. There is not so much evidence that UV does much - it will cause hours of maintenance/year. Apologetically, I have not found any mounting help (though I checked). Best wishes

I used to have my 80w pentair mounted with this. Not the prettiest but much cheaper than the neat aquatics brackets. Now I just have it lying down behind the tank.

You can also check with pentair directly to see if they have anything. I've bought spare parts directly from them.

Do you have the fittings facing up? I thought it was supposed to be down.

No, they're supposed to be pointing up so that the chamber is entirely filled with water to prevent any air from getting in there. If it's vertical, then the water has to come in from the bottom and out the top.
 

Good trouble: Have mushrooms ever become pests in your aquarium?
