Just wanted to let you know I was looking through this and you should remove the foam pad from the sump - it will cause issues when it gets clogged!
+1I would also look at the AB+ schedule from BRS, I run the AB+ on my Radion and really like it.
I was able to sneak my RMS mount by, not sure about the hydra mountSo I'm guessing I am going to have to lift the T up in the overflow to install the mount for the Hydra32.

Ouch! How would you mount it if you did it again? I am about to start my SCA 50 and have a hydra mount.Had a little mishap yesterday due to a careless mistake on my part. I tried mounting my Hydra 32 lights with the clamp on the inside of the overflow which I think is how it's supposed to be. Well the return T doesn't really allow you to set the clamp all the way flush. It seemed like it was secured enough to work but I guess not. The light tipped over and hit the back corner of the tank. Luckily the Hydra did not fall inside the tank.
Come home yesterday to this
I posted on the emergency forum and the feedback that I got was overwhelmingly positive. Will keep an eye on things but seems that it is just a small chip on the back left of the tank. It is just a small piece that chipped off.

I just got my sca 50 set up with the same mount. I tried cutting the bolt down, then putting a glass protection pad between the bolt and the glass. This let the mount go all the way down and could fit with the T bar. Thanks for the thread, it helped a lotI basically ended up putting it like I originally had it "should of kept it that way". The way the return T sits in the overflow it does not allow the mount to sit all they way flush like it's supposed to. I thought I could get away with it going down half way. It appeared it would be fine but it potentially was around a $1200 mistake between tank and lights.
This is a pic of how I had to settle with mounting. I am pretty sure it's supposed to be the opposite way but it just does not sit right . If anyone has gotten it to work on this mount I would like to see it.
As you see below in this picture the clamp cannot sit fully flush with the tank, and eventually led to my mount crashing down and chipping the tank. This will give you an idea. When it fell over it sat a little lower where the tighten bolt was touching the PVC. It seemed like it was right and secore, but it wasn't.
So all in all it works with the clamp on the back side of the tank, but it seems the mount tends to lean forward a little bit to me.

I screwed the bolt all of the way in and the held it above the glass to see where to cut it. I think it was about an inch.Nice! I will def see about trying this out since it seemed to work for you. How much did you have to cut off?
I have some updates on the tank that I'll be posting in the next day or so
