For the life of me I couldn't figure out a clean light mount solution for a peninsula build that I was happy with and would work for me. Not much on the market geared towards this. Found this video last night... Was absolutely what I've been looking for. Thank you so much!
@@ReefDudes I do have one question, i have built the stand it is beautiful, but i am having a hard time finding how you attached the lights to the 80/20 bracket. Did you drill though the slide mount for the xr15?
Thanks ReefDudes...i was beating my head to figure out how to hang light on peninsula tank. I remembered your video..., got up from my deep sleep and my problem is resolved!!! SUB man.
Nice mount! I did something out of 8020 also. good stuff. I went with just an internal corner. They give load ratings for the different corners types. Luv your channel keep it up.
Great video! Deflection is rear with all those lights and the length! If anyone is interested in 8020 I think the best way to purchase is to pick out your framing option first. After that you can narrow down your fittings for the specific framing option. The good thing about the 8020 website they have recommended hardware below the fittings in a tab. Makes this process very simple! The lights are Gen 3's?
Hi Devon, I’m setting up a new peninsula build and was watching your videos. On one of your older builds you had set up you opened a box of 80/20 that already had holes made to install the top bracket to the arm, is that necessary or can I just attach it with everything you have listed here? Great content btw it really helps us have resources like this! Thanks!
absolutely love it 😉😉 I said this month's ago about them I've been thinking on this I want some radions for my tank obviously I'll have to start saving haha how many would I need for my tank? I'm not sure on measurements as I'm not home I'm at hospital baby's on the way ☺ but dev could u search it up for me buddy, my tank is a clearseal reef space 700
Your about half a foot to wide for an XR30 so i would prob go with 2x XR15's to spread the pucks. with the gen 4's out now you should be able to pick up some G3's for cheaper :)
Do you know how you would do this with the G5 radions? I have G5 XR15s and I'm wanting to do this. I'm not sure I can use that same mount you have to the 1515.
this is perfect. just bought a peninsula tank but having problems finding adequete lighting. how long is your tank and how long is the top piece of aluminum?
Excellent that’s exactly the type of light bar I need. Could that be used on a reefbreeder light & possibly thinking of putting two led bars one on each side to fill in case I have shading. I have to do my own Dyi stand for the wb6025 so that’s going to change the style of what I was planning to do. Please advise where I could get the aluminum and what I need? Who could you recommend? Ty
I am really really touched by this video. I am trying to imitate this one, but would you help me to find the rubber channel attached between T-slotted aluminium to cover electric cord? Name or providing link would be perfect. Thank you!
The external ones is part of the tank so there is weir teeth on the back wall.. Keeps the inside of the tank free and clear! I love minimal legs and lack of center braces! :D
@@ReefDudes Thank you! I thought about that last night. I bought the 80/20 T slot and will drill a hole and mount the t slot on top of the mount. Thanks for all your videos.
Reef Dude, after watching your video, my next build instead of getting AI 26led , I will get the Xr 15. Can you tell me how high you mount the lights off the surface of the water? BRS video recommend 11" for 24" tank wide tank, was curious your setup?
I'd love to use 80/20 for my dream tank and floating light setup. Would I still need those "spacers" at the bottom if everything was modularly connected?
Hello I have a question I want to build the same tank Mount that you have for your lights but my question is did you use every single part on the description link or did you only use a 2 of the 15x15 rods
ReefDudes sounds good buddy thank you for all your information I'm going to have to make me a floating light stand because I really don't like the Ecotech Marine stand that they have for the radion xr15 pro
Also where do you get the rubber that fills In The slot of the aluminum arm and what screws for holding g each light into place. I think a couple items where missing from the list you made for everything you used. I have two xr15 g5 pros I need to hang
Think I answered my own question. For anyone browsing through, he upgraded to the G5 and mounted them directly to the fixture. ruclips.net/video/oNxA_3uHPoI/видео.html
did you keep your tank without a lid at all times?If you have a lid, how is it?I am debating about put a glass lid or not on my 15 gallon tank. regardsthanks
Love your floating light mount so I put one together for my tank. I ended using a different light and to mount it, the guy making the lamp I use made up these mounts after I showed him your video which he references at: www.reefi-lab.com/product/1515-fractional-aluminum-profile-slide-on-adaptor-for-reefi-duo-extreme-dulexe/
do you feel you notice the 1/4" sag? I'm about to do the same thing and trying to determine if i want to spend the extra money on the 2020 instead of 1515. going over a waterbox peninsula 7226
Nope not at all. out of 3 tanks the only one i notice the sage was the ofice tank but that was 6.5' ish of aluminum floating. On the tank in this video i put a spacer on the back of the vertical pole to put a slight angle to it and negate it.
@@ReefDudes oh perfect! I'll go with the 1515 then at 5.3' off of the wall. lastly I know you have the 7225 peninsula now, do you notice a small what looks like bubble around the bottom of the tank in the seam? I can't tell if it's the part where the leveling mat is or not, i have noticed it on other peoples videos as well
Thanks man, most beautiful angel I could ask for. Sooo hard to keep. Anyway, love your latest vid, I use alexa also. I know more than a few ways our hands could get wet ;) just saying hah. nickslife89@gmail.com is my email if you ever wana chat.
This is probably the cleanest light bracket that I've seen. I like how the cables are hidden too. Well done!
Thanks so much Nick! I see the tank as living art so it has to be pretty inside and out :)

Your most welcome! I had that same battle and ended up going the diy route :)
great look. I can't do this on my tank since my stand is just a wood one with am open back. But love how yours looks
This is genius. Can't wait to build this for my 7225
Why thank you! nice tank choice! ;)

Thanks Mark! That stuff is great for Clean looking DIY!
Very clean looking way of mounting your lights, thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you fine sir! BTW,, your tank is looking might fine :)
This is so good. I've been struggling to find anything to fit the radion xr15's in the space I have and this solves it!
Firthy76 problem solved! :)
I'm going to blatantly copy this solution. Beautiful.
those are very versatile building rods.
I love them! i just wish they were cheaper.. (then i would prob build everything out of them! haha)
Thanks for this video. I'm going out today to buy the stuff to make one the same for my Hydra 52 HDs!
Awesome! You will love it. Gives the tank a very sleek look!
Great video! Thank You!
Thank you! :D
Thanks sir just what i needed to get started with my build
Great video! Deflection is rear with all those lights and the length!

This looks SOOOO Good!!! I need to look into this.
Thanks! :D
That's one nice tank dude!
Thanks Roy!

could you do a video abouth the tank and equiptment?

ReefDudes thanks for looking into it for me buddy 👍 im going to look into it abit more
I really like your tank dude!!!
Fr4nkTheT4nk thanks Frank!!!
Looks great
Nice job Bud
Thanks Dave!
Do you know how you would do this with the G5 radions? I have G5 XR15s and I'm wanting to do this. I'm not sure I can use that same mount you have to the 1515.
Looks awesome!
Thanks Karen!
this is perfect. just bought a peninsula tank but having problems finding adequete lighting. how long is your tank and how long is the top piece of aluminum?
also, high high from the top of your tank do the lights hang? probably gonna do the same w the xr15s. thanks!
Tank / stand is 6’2”. Not sure on the others. Will have to check when back in town
Thanks for the vid!
Thaks for checking it out!
Excellent that’s exactly the type of light bar I need. Could that be used on a reefbreeder light & possibly thinking of putting two led bars one on each side to fill in case I have shading.

How much longer is your stand vs the length of the tank?
Overflow + the bar width :)
I am really really touched by this video. I am trying to imitate this one,
but would you help me to find the rubber channel attached between T-slotted aluminium to cover electric cord? Name or providing link would be perfect. Thank you!
Very sleek
Where in the heck is the front part of overflow? Love this stan. wonder how it would look with the leg on other side since I dont have a peninsula?
The external ones is part of the tank so there is weir teeth on the back wall.. Keeps the inside of the tank free and clear! I love minimal legs and lack of center braces! :D
Hey on the part 80/20 Inc., 4351, 15 Series, 5-Hole 90 Degree Joining Plate. Did you order 2.
Reefer Rob yes I have them on both sides. As well As tapped the top and the inner corner guest. I extremely overkilled it
Need to do this with XR15 G5, anyone know how I can mount the lights to this?
Drill a hole in the bottom of the mount. I believe I show it in one of my newer videos
@@ReefDudes Thank you! I thought about that last night. I bought the 80/20 T slot and will drill a hole and mount the t slot on top of the mount. Thanks for all your videos.
@@lesliesuarez7194 I just marked the middle, drilled a hole, poped in a tnut screw and nut and slid it on. works well! (how my 30s are mounted now)
Reef Dude, after watching your video, my next build instead of getting AI 26led , I will get the Xr 15. Can you tell me how high you mount the lights off the surface of the water? BRS video recommend 11" for 24" tank wide tank, was curious your setup?
Thanks dude!
Thanks for the video. where did you get those rubber covers for the 4 sides? I am in the US by the way. Thanks a lot
Same place I ordered the 8020 from
Nice vid
Thanks OG!
I'd love to use 80/20 for my dream tank and floating light setup. Would I still need those "spacers" at the bottom if everything was modularly connected?
Do you mean my couple washers? Haha that was just to negate a tad bit of sag. I’m trying a different mounting method on v2 of the tank..coming soon :)
Hello I have a question I want to build the same tank Mount that you have for your lights but my question is did you use every single part on the description link or did you only use a 2 of the 15x15 rods
The stuff in the description are just options as the length of the rails will depend on the size of your tank.
ReefDudes ok sounds good I thought I had to buy all those rail lol but what kind of clamp did you use to secure it to the fram of the tank stand
I used L brackets to attach it to the stand :)
ReefDudes sounds good buddy thank you for all your information I'm going to have to make me a floating light stand because I really don't like the Ecotech Marine stand that they have for the radion xr15 pro
Awesome, good luck and let me know if you have any questions as you go
Dev, do you mind sharing your lights parameters ... colors, intensity, pattern. Thanks 😁
Sure, ill do a video on it all soon :)
Awesome , thanks 👍
Also where do you get the rubber that fills In The slot of the aluminum arm and what screws for holding g each light into place. I think a couple items where missing from the list you made for everything you used. I have two xr15 g5 pros I need to hang
I’ll dig up the packing slip for the new one I made and post it
Could you tell me what bolts you used to attach the aluminum corner pieces and also what ones hold the lights in place thank you
All the same screws for that and they go into the T nuts
Reef Dudes! Do you know if the G4 mounts are compatible with the G5? I'd like to do the same with the G5 Xr 15's.
Think I answered my own question. For anyone browsing through, he upgraded to the G5 and mounted them directly to the fixture. ruclips.net/video/oNxA_3uHPoI/видео.html
did you keep your tank without a lid at all times?If you have a lid, how is it?I am debating about put a glass lid or not on my 15 gallon tank. regardsthanks
I made a DIY Mesh top for it > ruclips.net/video/W0Rzx2SRn1g/видео.html
where did you get the covers for the channel?
lukas paluchowski I believe the place was called CPI automation
Where did u get the plastic to cover the wires?
Same place i ordered the metal from. once one of the accessories.

@@ReefDudes I saw that unfortunately I'm going to mount it directly to a stud in the wall so I'm not sure how I would do that
@@trevortheodore1950 The one i have bolted to the wall was good as it was anchored high up and down low so pretty solid :)
@@ReefDudes oh perfect!

What did you do with the dismantling of Bracket?
true romance I only used the X. The c shapes Clio was not required
Hey Devin. Where can I find this custom bracket? Thanks !
I got mine from a glass shop.. but they are called "flanged corners" If your desperate i do have more :)
Hey how did you get the corner plate in black they only have it in silver at amazon or did you pain it
I found a black one from another source that i ordered
ReefDudes do you know the name of the place you got it from
Can I pay you to make this for me?
haha Maybe :P
Not a reefer but good fuckin job. Must be tough to find the right parts to make that.
Thx, it def took a while to figure what to order and how to make it work to support the weight over that long of a span!
That isn't a peninsula tank....if the other long side was clear, yeah.
Well it was clear! Added vinyl while it’s against the wall but rock and everything was built as a peninsula for when it’s in its future home :)
Nice job hiding the wires!
just buy one
whats up man?
how are ya
Just picked up a 6 inch red sea regal angel tonight. Hoping this one starts to eat soon, have you ever cared for one?
Beautiful Fish! i have not, I have only had dwarf angelfish Good luck with it! it should be a beauty!
Thanks man, most beautiful angel I could ask for. Sooo hard to keep. Anyway, love your latest vid, I use alexa also. I know more than a few ways our hands could get wet ;) just saying hah. nickslife89@gmail.com is my email if you ever wana chat.
