Boyfriend is in the garage ATM drilling the holes to mount the radions to the aluminum bar (using the extended screws we bought today). I'll post pics when we've got the fixture up on the bar for a decent visual but it will look very much like the radions.

Should look like this but lengthwise as we need 3 fixtures:

Thanks! I was very happy with the end result. I was perplexed why Radion didnt have a ready to buy kit. There's no way I want wires hanging from my livingroom ceiling!

Steve, Looks good. What are your tanks dimensions? How high does your mount put the Ecotechs above the water?

If you are planning on hanging them from the ceiling,Subman, the radion hanging kits work great!
