The holes are about 1.5mm. Avoid the ones with larger holes as you will get noise

Thanks.....I'll see If I can source 80mm to try.

If you can't find them, I ordered mine from Performance PCs
Site is very slow to load
This is the filter page - 80mm is at the bottom

Idea I have for the mounting bracket.

Still thinking of the material, but leaning towards clear 1/2" polished acrylic. It would be nice if the light from the fixture would illuminate the edges of the bracket as well.

you know, you could allways put a few stratigicly placed 5mm blue leds above your brackets to light them up. would make them glow and give you the look you were thinking of.

I know you are going for a different design but I just wanted to point it out for others looking to build something similar.

Hi Snaz, The mounts will be attached fixture using ¼-20 bolts that will go all the way though the mount and the fixture. I was thinking that the opposing edge would be on the other side of the tank preventing lateral movement, but I’ll give it a second , third, and fourth look. Would hate to have it fall….thanks
