Here is the 24 LED light over my 20L AIO. Mounting was the major concern for me as well. I finally made an acrylic stand for it a few months ago.

Thanks reefin,
I used all Cree royal blues and cool whites. A 3-1 ratio of blue to white. I believe they are all xp-e 3w Cree with Carlo optics. All purchased from reef led lights

aharrow...that looks sweet. what led's did you use

Here is my simplistic DIY led using 10w hybrid blue white emitters. I added another string of 3 for a total of 120w after this pic. As pictured its 90w.

I buffed out the clamp press holes with a water soaked rag and an iron, worked like a charm! This is my first wood working experience with bending wood so dont mind the faults

used Cree bulbs 6 white 12 blue 6 royal blue, blue and white on two separate drivers...no dimmer. I acclimated the tank without screens or anything just did photo period of 6 hours blue 2 hours white and I have been increasing 30 min on both weekly...worked perfect. Ill post more pics once my lights click on.
