I currently have these mounts "Current USA Orbit LED Adjustable Tank Mount Bracket" for my existing lights but upgraded to the Hydra 26 and wondered if these mounts would work?
I've read there's issues with the AI mounts not fitting tight to a standard tank with the plastic lipped rim.
My Hydra's should be delivered tomorrow.
 
Can’t say, but here’s a photo of what they look like after I added some aluminum C channel with the screws they came with:

I think one could DIY just about anything to make it work.

Thanks. That gives me a couple ideas.
 
I used the Kessil A mount combined with the AI bracket on my new rimless tank. I used the aluminum channel on a previous tank but wanted a nice clean look as I don't have a hood and it's in my main living space.

That does look sharp! But need an option for my rimmed tank. Hoping to rig something up on my existing mounts
Wasn't sure where the Mount holes were on the lights.

Sorry for delay, been out of town, The kessil a mount will work on rimmed also i believe. I'll take a pic of inside so you can see this.
 
AI updated the mounts for the Hydra to also work on rimmed tanks. I have a pair on my 40B. I did not know about the upgrade until I received my mounts and was pleasantly surprised.

Can you post a picture of the top of the light so I can see how you have the kessil mount connected to the AI bracket? PLEASE
