Thanks everyone. I ended up just cutting the EZ tube that I had from the old stand off of my 65gal for 2 of the lights and cut and drilled a piece of aluminum and sprayed it with that rubber sealant for the 3rd. Works great! I'll post pics tomorrow. Thanks again for everyone's ideas! Now, if anyone has a proven lighting schedule for the gen3 pros that would be great! Thanks again!

I think I read that Ecotech recommends 9-10", and their RMS mount is about 8" off. I would think that 9-10" would be good, but I am sure other people are going to have their own opinions. I Just know you can't turn the power up past 60% or so, especially if you have stuff growing near the top of the tank. Good luck!

I'm going to use 80/20 aluminum in my canopy so it can slide back and forth. I know the echotech screw 10/32 can fit into the chanel and slide. I'm not sure which size chanel of the 80/20 to get however. Does anyone know what size 80/20?

I'd been using mine with 2 G3-Pro's and 4 T5's B+ Act B+ Aquabluespecial can't be happier with the results, specifically growth and polyps extension.
