They were over the innovative marine tank as well. I asked them and they sounded like they were working on them for a future product launch. I will need three in November when my new SR120 innovative marine tank arrives so they need to get on it! They are the best looking mounts I have seen for a radion.

Looks like the material is 1" x 3" box. ( plastic or metal)
I can't tell from the pictures, but was it curved?
I made a single Radion mount from 3/8" x 2" aluminum bar like another RC member.
But I made a couple changes to make mine a little different.

It is curved and looked to be metal. It attaches to the rimless tank. I saw two versions. One version was one piece. The second one would allow the radion to rotate up during cleaning.

Mstg,
The mounting brackets you saw at MACNA are custom made acrylic mounts used for trade shows.

A lot of people are looking for a nice mount like that. I cannot believe nobody has made one yet that looks that good. Hopefully soon!!!

I can see thru you!
Hope this is cool to post here. I do agree i didnt like the cables being the only way to hang the radions so i made this for $12. 1/2" conduit bent and aluminum bought at home depot in hardware dept. cut using a hack saw. I also added my controller to the top to avoid water spill from destroying it. The lights can be adjusted for height and swung out of the way for servicing the tank.
Full tank shot.
And a pic with light swung out of the tank opening.

Ca ching - looks like your in business. :celeb3:
Do you happen to have any pictures of how it is mounted to the stand?

Sorry for some of the pics being upside down. For some reason photobucket and ipad gets confused! Lol
You can't hardly see any of the hardware on top of the light unless you're 7 feet tall, and im nowhere near that!

Thanks SoCalDude! It took awhile to think it out and build the fixture. I wanted a simple, clean and easy to remove light from tank for servicing. I personally dont like the cables hanging from the ceiling or from the light stand because it looks too busy.
Any plans to sell them? If not, could you tell me who made them?

I asked the Ecotech people and the ones on their displays were custom made by MRC (marine Reef Creations) they are solid acrylic (they do not move). They told me to go to the Innovative Marine booth because they have the ones that Ecotech most likely release. Those are the ones that you could move out of the way.
Both systems are apparently built for rimless tanks because the slide slit they have is thin for the edge. The problem is that I have an All Glass Aquarium tank with a rim for the Versa Tops. I hope that they have a solution for users with tanks that have a rim.
