Radion mounting?

[squin]

Try EZ-Tube. I built a rack suspended from the ceiling for my halides. Will be cutting it down to hold my Radions.

@mikeatjac Is your tank 48'' long? I have 2 radions on 90g (just purchased on Sat) and I'm wondering if it will be enough for a 48'' x 36'' marineland dd tank. Soft coral, anemones, clam mix reef.

When the Radions first came out, I had the same issue and found aluminum tubing and fittings at brunnerent.com that worked great. I have a 120 gal with two Radion's bolted dirctly to the aluminum tubing which makes it very rigid.

Yes it is a 120 48" long. I have 3 G1s and it is working great. Upgrading to the Pro and might just try 2.

Did someone try the Ai rail kit with the radion? Does it fit?
Thanks

Hrmm with so many handy...er people, I guess Ecotech doesn't need to make different mounting options.

Keep the original mounting systems coming, I like what I see!

So, did you make a decision yet?

Awesome suggestion. Thanks
I ordered the tubing and fittings from eztube.
Took me about 3 hours.

Looks great. :thumbsup:

Do you have a shot of it over the tank?

 

[mfinn]

I did take one, but as I was editing it, I realized there was a mess of wires and stuff.
Need to get that organized first.
This rack fits inside a canopy.

That is a very nice rack. Good stuff. Tinker Toys for big boys.

Thought I would throw my mounting solution in this thread. Hopefully it helps everyone to form their own ideas. I spent $45 on the Ecotech hanging kit and $67.52 on all the aluminum, bolts, washers and nuts at Lowes. This $67 includes a hacksaw and blades. If you already have a hacksaw and blades you can get the needed material for about $10-$15 chaeper than what I spent.

The U shaped aluminum pieces were great for hiding the wires in. The entire bracket is just an "L" shape with a triangle brace for extra support.

I changed my Reefkoi mount out for a ceiling tv mount and adapted it to the wall. This does not interfere with my screen for tank maintenance. Plus it swivels out of the way if needed.

I used T-Rail off of amazon and some $1 bolts from lowes.

That looks much better and cleaner. I wish I had a swivel on mine. It definitely got in the way when I was adding the sand today.

I have gotten a few pm's looking for the parts that I used. I bought these off of Amazon.

Very slick
