Hanging Ati sunpower

[chefpaakk]

Id also be worried about trying to hang it on the ceiling and getting the damn thing to be straight!!

I am waiting for quotes on custom items but they seem to be taking their sweet ass time!!

Use a plumb bob.

Not sure how many bulbs are in the fixture? But looks like the design of that would get in the way. Unless you flip the bracket 90 degrees counter clockwise from the photo? I think its a bit easier touching up holes in the ceiling than the wall, looks wise anyway. Not sure how you'd mount an ATI/bracket to wall without doing some sort of damage to the wall

Good call. I use these at work but ended up using fishing line tied to a nail

Whats your stand made of? Can it be moved to screw brackets into it from behind?
Reefsupplies carries the AI EXT rails (as Duncan mentioned), I'd ask how much weight they're rated for

Quote for what Tyler? I read the thread and am kinda confused. 'Custom items'... more confused.

I also think it might pose difficult to mount to an stand on an already filled tank.. Unless I drilled from the inside of the stand I guess.. But my sump is so large it's difficult to maneuver under there.

Tyler, the place that is quoting me says they would have one for me end of day tomorrow. I'll shoot you a diagram see what you think in the early am.

I hang my 60" ATI Sunpower off the 18" ceiling. Best decision ever. Very clean look. I think you should go for it and patch it back up when you move. ATI hanging kits comes with butterfly anchors, and that's what I used. Didn't hit the studs. If you have aluminum studs, you probably wouldn't want to damage it.


Get a laser level. Laydown the light flat on top of your tank. Point the level up to the the ceiling and just use a pen to mark where you should drill.
