Wall brackets for 75g hybrid light

[DYIguy]

I have 2 Relassy 165w and a Kessil A350w I plan to use on my 75g- the Kessil has it's own gooseneck. My plan is to mount/ hang the 2 Relassy 'sideways' on either side of the Kessil- they are 12" wide/deep- can I just use a 12" shelf bracket with the cables that came with them or is there a better looking alternative

I did this with a vipraspectra. One side I did not get a stud and a year later fell into the tank. I used 70lb moguls with 2 screws in the bracket.

Did you use wall anchors- I'm leaning toward four 16" wall/ shelf brackets and hang the lights from the shelf- put some old coral skeletons on top- got some nice pieces- purple, pink, red and more

I used Toggle bolts; each supported 70lbs per package description. Light was 20lb appx and figured both bolts would hold 140lbs.

Each time you move your light, you create additional pressure on that wall connection. I prefer snap off toggle bolts over wall anchors
