I have some shadowing going on. I'm mostly concerned with the bottom of the sps frags. I would like to add a blade to the front of my hydra 26. Is there a good way to mount to the actual light?

If you don’t need the control ability and want just a nice additional 30-40 par and broad fill light, go for a Vitamini strip with the clear mounting arms. Cheaper and really nice quality. Made to mount right on the cooling fins.

I really like that idea. But they don't come in a 12". I wonder if the mounts will work with a 12" blade?

I’m in the same exact boat so following

Have a hydra 32 and need to figure out how to mount an ai blade 12 inch to the front … have too much shadowing
 
not sure if this is helpful for your set up but this is my DIY blade mount, about 20 bucks not including the paint i already had

In like that. I was thinking about making a dyi mount but I'm not sure the best way to attach it to thr cooling fins. I did teach out to someone that had printed a really nice mount. It's been a while since he said he would print me one but with the holidays and all I understand.
Nice diy bro!

3D printed might be lighter too, this has some weight to it mainly the L brackets i believe are steel, its only been up for about 2 weeks i would like to lower it but dont want to burn any corals
 
Look up polyp pros they make a nice mount for those.

I've checked these out. I'm not sure how that mount. The side of my hydra doesn't have screw holes. I'm not even sure how my hydra is mounted to the red sea mount .

I ordered from polyp pros and it never came in. After 3 months they said they were going to make another one and try and send it. I asked for my money back and replaced the hydra with a sky.
