T5/LED Hybrid suggestions

[JurisHP]

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!

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!

Can I attach this fixture to the rim of the tank? How many and what size(s) do I need for a 72@ tank?

Can I attach to the rim?

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.

I need a fixture that I can attach to the tank -- does such a thing exist?

Go with T5's if you're heavy into sps and use some LEDs for color pop.

can you move the led spacing on the mount, like space them further or closer together!?

They have white on their website.

You could do a floating canopy as another option..
