How to mount radion XR-15 GEN 3

JCSReefing · Jul 17, 2017

Anyone have any idea on a very sleek, clean looking mount for raisins xr-15 on a eurobraced glass tank?

Ecotech Marine makes a bracket called RMS. Very slick and you can mount on a euro-braced tank. I believe for a XR15 they run @$89 new and you can find them used sometimes.

My tank is not just rimless but it is euro braced. Does the RMS mounts work on a euro braced tank?

Yes

Even the individual are ones? Or just the multi light bar?

Some steel flatstock bent and bolted to the radions and stand. Simple, cheap, and clean.

I cannot mount to the back of my stand as my stand is already up against the wall [emoji19]

I've seen dev's set up! Super clean but not sure how I would mount it to the euro bracing

I did 80/20 mounted to the wall. I bought the wall side just a bit longer so it drops below the back edge of the tank but the screw mounts are above the back edge of the tank.

This is the best photo I have on my phone at the moment, the photo is actually of the fan I built for someone but you can see the 80/20 mounts.

I worked with https://www.knottsco.com

They were great to work with. I sent them my specs, they made a tech drawing for me, once approved it didn't take long. Very easy to work with. All parts are made to order and go together very easy. Attached is the technical drawing they did for me.

I can't seem to find the quote or invoice, but I feel like it was around $150.

What about your fan set up. Sorry to go off topic, but that is awesome
