ONF Flat One is available in “Blue-White.” They don’t have the red or green diodes that other lights have but you can control the blue-white mix through the ONF app. Your local authorized UNS retailer can order a light in for you or get it online from GlassAqua

Also available in pendant style.

I’m considering a UNS AIO 40a or 60a saltwater tank but I’m having trouble figuring out if the tank mount arm for my light will fit on the back with the matching ATO on top. It looks like there is a little cutout on the back of the ATO for the skimmer but it is off center. Do tank mounts for this setup need to be side mounted?
 
I [generally] recommend side-mounted lights for the UNS Dual AIO 40A and 60A. A rear mounted arm may get in the way during maintenance and restrict access to the back chamber.
 
My lights are a complete monstrosity with T5, LED and metal halides, but you’d never know it with the canopy!

I agree with this. The most aesthetically pleasing to me is showing none of the lights or top of the aquarium at all. Part of the reason I went with an in wall system.

Second to that for me is a halide pendent hanging from the ceiling. Just ones personal taste. Here’s Joe Pecks old system lit by 4x400 watt MH.
