Mounting 4 x gen5 xr30’s

[nasdds]

Hi all
I’m setting up a new tank and would like some opinions on how to mount (Front to back or side to side) 4 xr30’s on a 210 gallon 72x24” tank. If anyone also had the measurements on the spacing of these as well that would be awesome. I am also supplementing with two Orphek OR3 60” led bars. Thanks in advance!

I would go side to side, evenly spaced.

I had 4 XR30's on my 72" x 30" tank that ran side to side.
At first I used the RMS mount system with the arms on the end and a long rail. But I hated the sag in the middle. So I used a 6' piece of 3/4" x 3/4" angle iron and bolted it to the top of the long rail which took most of the sag out.

Do you have pics of how you did this? Thank you!

I don't think I have a front view, but when I had them up, it was very had to see the angle iron.
The aluminum pieces were clips I made to hold the cables in the channels.

If I were to hang 4 XR30's over my tank again I would skip the RMS system and go with a stout piece of aluminum 1" x 2" box, the X brackets and a hanging kit.

Or a pair of aluminum bars of somesort and the hanging kit. Skip the X brackets
