Mounting XR30 onto Kessil Mounting Arm

KENNYSREEF · Sep 25, 2024

Hello -

Has anyone tried mounting an XR30 onto the Kessil Mounting Arm before? The rigid one not the flexible one. I believe I saw Sin City Corals do this to XR15, but not sure if I saw anyone do it for XR30.. assuming it should be the same concept..

The reason I'm asking is because I have a Waterbox 50.3, and the RMS Arms are too intrusive into the AIO overflow area and I can't fit another one back there with the equipment that I have.

I have some extra RMS hardware I think you could easily make work. I could send it to you if you just pay the freight

these are the pieces.....I'm sure you could get it to work

I'm looking to do the same, mount an XR30 to a Kessil arm.

Is the weight of the XR30 okay to put on that arm, stress on glass?
Could you be kind enough to post a few pics of the top and side of how you mounted it.

Thanks

Sorry for the delay, I don’t believe there is a lot of stress on the glass. Here are a couple pics
