So you're adding the ap700 to the aquatic life t5 hybrid?

Yes.

 

[Crabs McJones]

Yes.

It's super easy to do. Just use the brackets that came with the aquatic life fixture. But you will have to buy longer screws in order to attach the brackets to the light. Stainless steel or coated screws from the hardware store work best. I believe they're 10/32 screws but take an old one with you to match up just incase

The screws come with the ap700 or AquaticLife.

The screws come with the ap700 or AquaticLife.

The screws in the top cover of the ap700. Unfortunately the ones that come with the light arent long enough to go through the brackets and then into the light.

This is the screw you're referring to just to make sure?

Yes. The brackets that come with the aquatic life fixture will screw into the existing holes in the ap700, but you need longer screws to do so. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/aquatic-life-t5-hybrid-with-kessil-ap700.353955/

Thanks Man!. You've been so much help. My T5 Are kind of crooked. I actually forgot to even them out, I had put one mount on one end and one on the other ended. Which wasn't a smart idea so now I have to unscrew the Aquatic Life mount from my RSR stand. ;Facepalm

umm @Crabs McJones I have no idea how to fix the suspension cables lol.

 

[Crabs McJones]

The part that installs into your ceiling you need to obtain. I used the AI Prime hanging kit. Works perfectly

i'm using the universal mounting kit which attaches to the stand. I kinda messed it up. The little little part on the floor came off the cables.

Anyone?

Yes.

Yes.

You put your cable through that fitting to make a loop to hang the light
