Kessil Mounting Options HELP

FireEMT · Aug 30, 2015

I am planning on purchasing 3 Kessil 360's. The problem is my tank that is being built has euro bracing and I know kessil goose necks will work but it seems like they put a lot of stress on the bracing. I would like it if they had an option to mount 3 on a rail that you could hang off the wall above the tank. Can anyone help with either a DIY options or one that you've purchased. Thanks

The Kessils are very user friendly and have multiple mounting options available (even comes with a hook and brackets for each light). I am using the goosenecks, but I google image searched about hanging them and looks like there are a lot of different ways you can hang them. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en...nfh.2..0...1.1.64.img..12.24.1700.VgoUybByxVA

There's also the option of getting the Aquaticlife Hybrid fixture. The T5's will cut down on shadowing and with the brackets for the Kessils makes a clean install. I made a diy floating canopy to house the fixture and 4 Kessil 160's.
