Mounting Brackets

I will be recieving the 6010 kit from Premium Aquatics either on Friday or Monday and I was wondering...is the bracket that is included with the kit enough to mount it to a AGA 125g tank? Or will I need another part for it to mount properly? If so, which part # will I need.

You will need part 3000.244.

Do you need a special bracket for a 180 gal oceanic?

You need the long screw 3000.244 unless you intend to mount to your overflow box.

Hereââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s how I did mine on the side of an AGA aquarium. You donââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢t need any additional mounting kits from Tunze to do it this way. The mounting bracket hardware that comes with the stream can be set up different ways. First I set up the bracket like this to clamp horizontally.

Then I glued a 1ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚ wide strip of Ã"šÃ‚½Ã¢â"šÂ¬Ã‚ thick clear acrylic to the tank frame using Marine Goop but silcone or Weldon 16 would also work. I also drilled a hole through this for the mounting screw to pass through.

Then I mounted the bracket with tightening screw through the acrylic strip like this.

Hereââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s what the stream looks like in my tank.
