Hey everyone. I'm sure this has been discussed before but I can't seem to find any info when I search the forums. Does anybody have, or know where I can find a Coralife 150w HQI clamp-on light fixture? I'm researching options on changing the lighting in my 20H. I've got a 175w SE pendant over the tank now but the fixture is butt ugly! I don't want a full canopy because the tank is rimless and I like the look of the open top. I figure that a clamp-on hqi fixture would look nice, and I wouldn't have to hang anything from the ceiling. Thanks in advance!

i think they're just standard lights, but with the neato adjustable legs.

Thanks. These actually look interesting too! It's not what I've seen though. This fixture i'm thinking of had a small 150w DE pendant which was attached to a big clamp which clipped onto the tank.

now that i see one of those, that'd be ok for my 25gal tank...hmm. only trouble is a have an aquaclear 500 on it which takes up all but 4" on the back of the tank..

That is the Aqualight Advanced Series. J&L should be able to get them. I know they could get the canopy version since they told me so. I doubt they would have any problems getting the hangon version.

Hi
I have one fitted to a 26gal Bowfront. what you have to be careful of is the width of your tank. I found I had to do the "reverse" mod to the main frame in order for it to seat properly. IE: By reversing the main body I could get it (light) to lay level at =4" above and centered front to back on the tank. The mod only takes about 10 minutes to do. Other wise the light sits at a angle.
if you want/need I can E-mail you a couple of pics on mine or head over to nano-reef .com and see the set-ups for theirs.

Invigor- What some people with the AC500 have done is fit the light to the lip/ back of the 500. The material is thick/strong enough to hold it with no problems.

Thanks everyone!

Bob, I've thought about that pendant as well but I'd rather not hang anything from the ceiling if I don't have to. That's why I'm curious about the clamp.
