Both are height adjustable.

i gotta return my radion arms that i have coming then. they seem like they sag from all forums and only like 8 from water i might need a arm that has more height adjustability. and also havent decided on how to hand the LX7. left to right of tank or front to back. not sure what would work best and look best on waterbox 130. 47x24x22

Front to back is how I have mine. Don't see any reason to put them sideways.

 

[Michael Gray]

what size tank is it?

 

[Scdell]

150 tall. 48x24x30. So it's a deep tank. Love my lx7's!

how many do you have can you post a photo of them front to back full tank so i can see if im diggin it.. i might have seen it or missed it on here

sorry i saw the side photo you posted.. when you have time can u measure how far off water bottom of LX7 is to waterline roughly. radions mount would put it like 8 with a 1" drop in mount to modify for leaving space/air room for fans to work properly.. seens kind of low to me

 

[Michael Gray]

actual GHL mounts are expensive as heck.. id have to paint them black.

[Michael Gray]

oh yours are pretty low as well...hmm my radions xr30 mounts just might work then

Mine need to be lower because of the deeper tank. Yours wouldn't need to be mounted that low.

since you have both kessil and vervve mounts which one is more heavy duty less flex.. vervve looks like screw is so long id have to have my tank farther from the dang wall.. i should just return the radion mounts not even bother opening them since no height adjustment.. i should have waited except i didnt hear about Mitras until like 2 days ago. i was set on XR30 g4 pro!.

I never used the verve's. The kessil arms fit my tank better. Both are strong.

 

[Michael Gray]

i dont even have my radion mounts and i just posted them on Craigslist lol

 

[Scdell]

If your interested in the verve's I'll give you a deal.

thanks. i just ordered the kessil arms that you have. hoping its heavy duty.. i see its 1 inch tube. so i guess vervve is out. and ill sell these radion mounts hopefully.

@Scdell , just got my 2 kessil arms. But have a question. Only thing I dont like is the 2 screws just tighten and dig into the starphire 1/2 glass to tighten??? No rubber pads for ends of the mounting screw or some kind of pad to pin against glass and plastic screws? Were suppose to just tighten it up tight and scratch glass?

Do you mean where they attach to the Mitras? Go to Lowe's and but some rubber washers.

No where the mount screws to the rimless tan . The screws just screw and press onto the glass. I dont like that at all. I'd think they would supply some kind of backing so screws dont just scratch the glass

That's fine they are plastic. They won't scratch glass.
