Hey hopefully some folks with the reefer can chime in on this. How do you guys mount your refugium lights in a reefer tank? Most of the UFOs seem to come with a hook mount but I don't really see a good place to mount that within the stand? Or did you pick a light with a stand of sorts?
 
There is a massive thread on here for reefer owners. Can’t recall the name of the thread, but do a search of “reefer” in the title and you will find it.

Ask your question in that thread and you will get some answers.

I will help find the thread if you can’t find it, but I’m sure you will. It’s HUGE!
 
I mounted a 36w grow bulb on a PAR38 gooseneck clip-on from BulkReefSupply; SBReefLights sells the bulb and mount with their sPAR38 Fuge light which is a pretty good deal for the combo.

For a lower cost alternative, Home Depot sells a clip on lamp without the bulb but you should probably spray over the exposed metal screws (and remove the shield to allow for more air cooling, as grow bulbs can get hot).
 
I have a 750. My UFO hangs from a home organization shelf mounting rod that I screwed into the top front panel.
