I have never understood why the only LED that offers a canopy mount is the kessil AP700. I came up with a system that will work with ANY LED Fixture.
The cost was about $45 to mount 4 Hydra 52’s in my 60 inch canopy. No issues with cooling.
-SuperStruts (Lowe’s electrical section)
-Staunless bolts that fit the mounting holes of the fixture.
-Fender washers (I used 1 1/4 x 1/4)

Agree, nice build. Only concern might be the struts and saltwater splash/creep over time since I assume they are just painted. SS ones would make it foolproof.

Unfortunately they don’t come in stainless. I am having some powder coated as we speak. With the cost so low I can just replace them if I need to
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
