AI Sol Mounting Rack

[Aquattro]

I'm thinking of doing away with my canopy, and considering the stock AI mounting system. Anyone use this and have an opinion? Pics would be great too

I'm using them on my 72G bow front.

They do the job ok, look decent and aren't too pricey but I'm not a huge fan of the mounting rails. They need much taller legs and are slightly flimsy.

I've had to use some temporary wooden blocks to lift them high enough until I build something more elegant looking.

The rails do hold my supplementary t5's in nicely in place.

Anyway, here's some quick n dirty iPhone pics.

Much better option, just saying.

No, not really. This is for a living room install, and that's a bit industrial looking. Would not get wife approval.

Ya, that's what, 3 inches? Not nearly tall enough. Guess I need a plan "B"

Thanks for the pics.

Will you be hanging from the ceiling or are you looking for tank mount?

I was hoping to mount it. Pretty sure "you're not f'ing hanging anything" meant no hanging

Sorry no pic. The mounting legs are a joke. The legs are about 3" but the design of the fixtures has them hanging quite low. The lights end up being way too close to the top of the water. I too had to prop them up and used beer mugs until my hanging kit arrived.
