Rimmed aquarium mounting

[Kingkold020]

I’m looking for a DIY solution to rimmed aquarium mounting. I never realized how hard it is to get a light that fits on a rimmed aquarium. I was looking to get 2 Aqua kings for my 20 gallon long, but I’ve heard that they don’t fit snug on it. What have you guys done to make your lights fit on your rimmed aquarium? Only things I can’t do are hang them or to try and mount them to the back wall.

When I ran AI lightning on my rimmed tank it was a pain to just use the stock mounting. I ended up making a shim out of plastic to help hold it all together.

My ai primes held up fine on the rim of a 30 breeder. I used the rigid arm or what ever it’s called.
