What Light is This?

[Frigideus]

Saw this light in a BRS video that looks perfect for my situation but cannot find any exact or similar lights or mounts on their site.

I really want this type of mounting bracket for my lights (where I can slide new lights onto the track because I am planning an upgrade later) but cannot find anything similar.

Any help is appreciated.

You can mount additional lights to most HMS/RMS multi light kits without having to go with something like this(these look like AI Hydra 26s). But Red Sea also makes this which is basically the same just hung from the ceiling. They refer to it as the Pendant but I cannot find where it sells alone without purchasing a whole setup

That is what we refer to as a hybrid fixture. They are made by companies such as Aquatic Life & Geisemann, typically they are made so that you can incorporate a third-party LED fixture in between the T5’s or LED bars.

This is not a “hybrid fixture”. It is the light mount that comes with the Red Sea Max S series of aquariums. Usually only run with AI hydra or Red Sea reefleds. The hanging pendant posted above is available for purchase by itself, but I’m not sure if this exact one is.

Is there anything similar to this that isn't sold by Red Sea, or sold on it's own? I can't afford to do a pendant off the ceiling because the ceiling above this tank is about 11-12 feet. I would also like to avoid drilling into the wall if possible, which is why something like this that I can just put on my tank is super helpful! I don't need anything fancy, but my setup is a 100G from Innovative Marine, and I plan to have 2 Hydra 32s, with a 3rd and some blades when I start doing SPS. I know AI makes their own multi-light mount but the reviews scare me a bit.

The Hydra HMS works really well(I’ve used them a couple times) I’m not exactly sure why people don’t like them but you can’t really mess it up. They literally just bolt together

It seems like the majority of bad reviews are because you cannot hide the cables in the cable channels (I don't want loose cables if this isn't an issue cool) and sometimes the rails do not slide together well. "Poor construction" overall. I see some reviews about misleading advertising but I won't have issues there because I made sure to know what I need to get, should I buy them.
