John_Wik Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Looking to change lighting from a pair of Kessil AP700s to the aquaticlife T5 hybrid with the kessils attached to it. In order to do that though I'll have to switch from tank-based brackets to a wall-mount system. The tank sits 16" away from the wall so I need to extend to about 28" away from the wall to the center of the light. If anyone has suggestions on a vendor I'm all ears but I haven't found anything yet. So I'm looking custom/DIY. Thinking this kind of thing would be easiest... Does anyone know where I can find aluminum bar like this? And maybe somewhere to get it bent appropriately? I figure a couple of those mounted to the studs would do the trick.

Gonzo620 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 Not to toot my own horn here but I could do it. I’m a sheet metal worker by trade. I work at Lilly welding and fabricating custom parts. I’ve made a couple light holders for myself as well. This is my light rack on my frag tank right now. Mine isn’t wall mounted but this worked for me. ( don’t mind the extra cable still need to make sure par is where I want it) The bracket in your photo appears to be 2” x1/4” thick #4 polish stainless steel with 2 45 degree breaks. Ehh. Contact me in a DM if you wanna talk further. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gorgi Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 I need that for my 80 shallow to suspend my ati fixture. I don’t want to suspend from the ceiling and not fond of the conduit look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantaMonica Posted December 1, 2019 Report Share Posted December 1, 2019 Might be a bit much, but a neat solution is a motorized lifter. They are for large screen TVs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
