Remember to acclimate the clam to those strong lights.

Yeah, thanks. I just have no idea how the heck I am going to attach the rods that hold up the lights to the actual tank.

Duct tape, gorilla glue and a couple episodes of MacGyver. You'll be golden!

Lol

It says it comes with a hanging kit. But does that include the thing that attaches the bars to my tank, the most important part?!?!?
I cant even find a video on a setup of the led and thats even worse!

A lot of the Bb come with cables and the tw legs that straddle the tank. His is advertised in the picture to hang it over the tank. Kinda cool.

Yeah, I think so too. If I cant find anything, I am just placing it on top of the glass cover..

On amazon they said that is not included. With what comes, I can only attach it to the ceiling which sucks cause I am not doing that.

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Krud. Can you put self mounts behind the tank?

 

[saltyfilmfolks]

Shelf bracket or plant hanger.

 

[savetheocean]

Nope. Ugh..
I need to find something that attaches to the back rim of the tank.

Shelf bracket or plant hanger.

Is there a better light I can get that comes with a good hanging kit? Price: $600 max

 

[savetheocean]

A hanging kit is important

Well Take a look at what the mounts. In a Bb usually look like. Personally I'm not a fan. The t247 is woth looking at too. But you need two.
Sbreeflight has the ultras for 700 for a 48w tank. I don't know what the 32 costs.

A 300w mars aqua is the same mount kinda as your should be songoogle those.
Past that a good mount is what @DSC reef said. Wood and duct tape.

Brb.

[saltyfilmfolks]

I have zero in person experience with these.

Only one size. You'd need 2

I like the Sbreeflight, the stand is what I am looking for so thats a plus

I'd say go SB reef light. The spectrum is far better to the generic black boxes.
