I did a new hanging setup over my 180 gallon tank.
I started with 1 - 1/16 x 1/2 x 1/2 aluminum angle that will face outwards.
Next I used 1 - 1/16 x 1" x 1" aluminum angle that will face the back side of the tank. The reason I went with 1x1 aluminum angle is that I will hide my cord behind it. I just need to find black extension cords. so you will see them in the photos for now. I drilled holes in the aluminum angle for the light studs to go through. the thread size is 6mm x 1.00mm. Before
With my old setup I had a 1"x1" square tube that had holes in it so I can hang the light from it. But I never got a photo of it. It was UGLY and it drove me nuts just knowing I did it that way. Now there is only three hanger and not eight.
So here are the before and after photos.
Before
After
What I did
Flat Black
Put together all the lights
Much cleaner look now

Hey Dan, love the new look. Looks so much cleaner than before and nice and straight.
I see the bracket runs right over the fans. If I remember correctly, there's pulling air in the fixture, so the flow would be coming out the other slots. Do the fixtures still feel like they're pulling a good amount of air? I can feel the air coming out of mine, so if your can, then you're probably fine.

Thank you. I have about 1/8 gap between the lights and the aluminum angle. So there is no restrictions of air flow. They are pulling a lot of air and I can feel the air coming out.

Cool. Definitely looks nice and clean.
Nice clean look Dan.
When I was acclimating my corals and simply had the lights hanging without a cover, the light fall off in front of the tank was blinding. Do you have a similar problem.....or do the lens direct most light down?

Hey we both came together on this one. So thank you for your input.
Jim Thank you,
I am so happy to see you are back! You had us worried. If you need anything I am right down the road. Always here to help.
Paul I do not have that problem at all. The lights are very well thought out by Ocean Revive. They out perform fare better than I would ever have thought.

Many greetings from Germany
