ATI Powermodule ?

[oigimsar]

I am searching for ways to mount my ATI on my tank. I have found a number of threads and references to custom acrylic stands that have been built but I have yet to find a picture.

I know I can hang it and have seen many options available for hanging it but I would really like to mount the fixture on the tank if possible.

Does anyone have theirs mounted on their tank?
Does anyone know a link with pics of tank mounting options?

Thanks.

I've got my ATI sunpower mounted over my 90g tank. I built a custom canopy (open-topped) for it, schematic below:

It has 2 short projections sticking out of each side to support the light (as represented by the light blue rectangles). It works really well, and was very easy to build.

I like the idea and already have the material to build the open top canopy.
Are the "projections" made of wood? How far out do they come?

How do you access the tank? Do you have to remove the lights and then the canopy every time you need to do anything?

I made the whole canopy (projections included) out of 1/2" thick acrylic. However, no reason you couldn't do it using wood as well (I just like the look of black acrylic better).

In terms of how I access the tank, the light fixture is not as wide as the tank (front to back). So there is space between the front of the canopy and the front of the light fixture, which provides ample room for feedings and maintenance. If I really need a lot of working room, I can easily lift the fixture out, but I rarely need to do this.

Very cool. Do you have any pics?
Anyone else?
