Mounting hardware (1 Viewer)

[Desertio]

I am not sure why this is so damn complicated. Pat good money for a light and they send you 0 things for mounting it. Like not even screws that fit the holes they made. FFS. Now that my rant is over, could someone tell me what the hell I need to get and where I can find said thing please? Here's what i have. Aquaticlife T5HO 36"L X 24"W fixture. I presently have 2 AI primes mounted in there. I just got an AI Hydra 32 in and I need to add it to the mix. The fixture i have has the 7" gap in the middle for the addition of lights. Where can I get the mounting hardware, what size screws does it take, etc? I greatly appreciate any help or guidance in this matter.

There may be a diy option, but from what I can recall, you need to order the mounting bars for hydras, radions, etc.

I've been trying to understand how to build a sliding mounting scaffold for my canopy using t track or something. I'm not the most engineering minded but I think I can make it work. Might be something to look into.

I believe this is what you're trying to do. It's really nothing special, just 1/8 metal bent at a 90 to sit in that little groove. There is a little screw hole you "could" put a screw in, but where they put those holes may not be where you want to position your lights so i just didn't use the screw at all. As far as what screw fits into the fixture, I just found something at home depot to fit the threading and added washers.

The rail on the front right is off by one groove, and neither are seated in the back. This is making me nervous.

Thanks for noticing, I’ve corrected that.
