Radion mounting

[Trevdawg]

Yes, I saw there is a mount ready by ReefKoi. I am thinking about it.

The tank is 4 feet wide, with a one foot wide (maybe 10inches) piece of glass in the center for structural support. I have 2 Radion's and their "long kit" but it isn't wide enough. I thought it was adjustable or actually wide.

Can I get the "plus 1" kit and use that with only 2 lights? Do I need to get another mounting kit for the second light?

I have asked/emailed Ecotech, still waiting to hear back.

Did you ever consider making your own mount?

I made one for a single Radion over my 50 gallon tank that could easily support 2 .

I made a simple hanging rack out of aluminum angle iron for my 2 radions and I love it, it was extremely simple to make looks very sleek, and on top of that only cost about $25 to make.

Ditto.

Bought one for my 75. Looks awesome and you can adjust the position of the lights anytime. This is what I bought for my 75g: Ecotech Radion 48 bracket : REEFKOI CORALS, SPS, LPS, Zoanthids

I am gunna hang it today and see how it goes.
If it doesn't shine enough then we will probably make our own.

Do you happen to have any pictures of the mount? I would be interesting in seeing it. I need to mount 3 over my new 125.

Well we mounted to the Radion's ......
Building a mount next week.

 

[Trevdawg]

Well we just mounted it a different way and see how it goes.

I'd make a hood and mount it in there IMO

Made own mount. Just used cables from the kit.
