Need help with ai aquaillumination rail

[Edgar Verdy]

I am currently in the process of putting together a peninsula style 8ft long tank and I'm looking to purchase hydra 52 hd lights. I need a rail system that can cover the tank. I believe AI double arm HMS rail system only goes up to 72". I can't do the hanging kit since I have 20 ft. ceiling. Any ideas on how I can get it done? Thank you

Hi and Welcome to R2R.

MarineDepot used to have the rail kits for the AI's.

I believe there are extensions for sale. I use the arms so i could be wrong.
But BRS has 73.5 inch rails.

Once you cross 6' it is hard to find anything that covers it easily. I am the process of laying out my build for a 265gal that is 7' long and pretty much have come to the following:

If you want to use the rail you could use the hanging kit coming from decorative brackets on the wall rather than the ceiling.

Or.... hang the rail from a canopy, whether fixed or floating. (I am looking at building a floating canopy)

Another option would be to use the mounting arms instead.
