Dear All: I am going rimless, and am looking for suggestions on lighting. I presently have a canopy with 3 Radion XR30's and a T5 retrofit kit (4 bulbs), and I want to have a LED/T5 combo unit to attach to the new rimless tank I'll be setting up. The tank is 7" long, so I need suggestions for lighting that will work with this size tank. Thanks!
 
Your search starts and ends with the Aquatic Life hybrid.

100%!!! The fixtures come in a black finish currently, but I believe a white finish is in the making. If that is what you desire!
 
You can attach it via kits that connect it to your stand and provide arms that sit over-top of the water, but I would never attach it directly to the glass, especially on a large tank. The other option is to attach it to wall brackets over the tank, or the ceiling.
 
Go with T5's if you're heavy into sps and use some LEDs for color pop.

You could do a floating canopy as another option..
