Radion Light Mounting

[LVReefer94]

How would you mount 2 Radion XR30's? The RMS mounts don't seem like an option for me since I have a euro brace that is larger than the mounts acceptable range. I can't really come up with any clean ideas.

Cant you just buy a longer hanger?

Its not that. The squeeze clamp only opens up to 2” to grab on to the rim. My euro brave is 3”.

I have seen someone post a 3D printed part that works with the clamp in order to use it on Euro Braced tanks. Something like this https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3493623

I used the RMS mount on my 72" long eurobraced tank.
I used a long rail and let the RMS brackets just sit on the ends.
You can put tension on it and tighten the brackets to hold it up.

I quickly made this just a few minutes ago and hooked it all up. Process took about 20 minutes including removing the old lights and installing the xr30. I ran 2 kessil a80’s on this nano so i just used the cheap goosenecks for them $50 solution vs a $100 rms mount. This post was about using them on my 100 gallon build and not this 20 gallon but i can atleast start using the light now instead of months from now. I screwed the kessil bracket into the sides of the radion plastic frame using 1” wood screws with the light taken apart to ensure i didnt hit anything inside the light and boom it works like a charm. I would say though this will probably on work on a standard 20 gallon tank just because of the length of the arms and mounting height. It just so happened to work perfectly.
