Yeah it says the kit supports 24 lbs, this would be 28lbs, i could always get another arm? but thats 24 lbs + 3 kessils on the rim of glass suspended@Nate Chalk
These braces will fail with 2 more units attached. They already look like they are leaning forward. I could be wrong.
Tank looks rimless. You're asking for trouble. Sometimes even rimmed tanks, we've used plywood to even out pressure points. It isn't difficult for these arms to chip, crack glass.
Honestly you would probably be better buying some L bracket, conduit, In a tubing vendor and creating yourself a 4 -point attachment to either the wall or the back of the tank. No ceiling wires, run them straight back down the conduit.
Any examples of what this looks like? I was leaning towards @fishguy242 's idea to anchor to the wall at a 45 or so with eye hooks

I used extruded aluminum for my light mounts, but will give you an idea on how it can be done
I used heavy duty shelf brackets with a painted shelf on top and then gridded out the bottom of the shelf and mounted the lights with longer bolts that the heads are recessed into the shelf.I used extruded aluminum for my light mounts, but will give you an idea on how it can be done
