I know this is a long shot but has anyone retrofitted a Nicrew Hyperreef with a supplemental LED bar or bars? It would be cool if Reef Brite made an add on kit like they do for AI, Ecotech and Kessil but I know it will never happen since Nicrew isn't one of the big name manufacturers of aquarium LED lighting. If someone has done this I would love to see your setup. Thanks

I got 2 nicrew hyper reef gen 2 150w and a reef brite 60in x series.

The nicrew fit on the bars, in the same way a radion would, perfectly.

The ecotech radion mounting rail, however, does not fit on the nicrew light arms.

Currently waiting for nicrew to release their rail so I can have the nicrew lights + reef brites mounted on the tank.

If you are just doing a single nicrew on a small reef brite the arm alone should be more than enough to hold it all up, but in my case, one arm on each end of the tank and the reef brite/nicrews in the middle there was too much sag for me to be comfortable.

Hope this helps
