The glass lip won't allow it.It looks like you need to move the tank bracket down further.
Ah, now I see. Yeah, that's a dilemma. @HuduVudu had a good suggestion; you could also try notching out the glass for the bracket as well (which would require removal, cutting and reinstalling).The glass lip won't allow it.
@Hannahmunt it looks like you can't get the bracket down deep enough.
That glass lip looks custom. Is there a reason that you put it there? If you could remove it I think the bracket would work correctly.
FWIW your tank looks like it was supposed to be rimless.I never asked for it, but am assuming it’s there for a reason lol
Is that lip all the way around? Maybe for a lid to sit on?FWIW your tank looks like it was supposed to be rimless.
It looks like all the glass lip work was added after the fact.
Two things jump out at me, first the black hose on the left in the pic means that the glass on the left has a gap. This means that it is not structural. It's only purpose would be cosmetic. Which is weird because it doesn't look very good. The second thing is that all of the glass lips etc.. are set down what looks to be two inches (50mm). This is unusual and once again not structural. Doing this with what would be a euro brace (the middle glass piece) provides no bracing because the the sides will tend to bow out and slicone isn't very strong with a pull force. It works better with a shear force. In other words if it was a brace it should set on top of the glass.
My only conclusion is that these lips are cosmetic.
But If I am wrong I am just a guy on the interwebz.
I got this tank built yearsss ago, so can’t remember the reasons.FWIW your tank looks like it was supposed to be rimless.

I think your best options are removal of that (seemingly cosmetic) glass lip on the back so you can properly mount it -or- get the HMS kit to hang it from the overhang above. I'm not saying it couldn't work in the current configuration, but I'd be leery about it suddenly falling into the tank.I got this tank built yearsss ago, so can’t remember the reasons.
above the tank is a cupboard so could I possible hang the light?
I can’t remove the glass lip unfortunately, I’ve tried looking for a hanging kit but can only find one for the 26 and 52 modelsI think your best options are removal of that (seemingly cosmetic) glass lip on the back so you can properly mount it -or- get the HMS kit to hang it from the overhang above.

Well, another option could be to mount a bracket to the wall that holds the light bracket in-place. You could probably even use one of those flexible silicone or rubber ones and just screw it to the wall (metal will most likely rust).I can’t remove the glass lip unfortunately, I’ve tried looking for a hanging kit but can only find one for the 26 and 52 models
I Would just screw that horizontal section of the mounting arm to the top of the cabinet and take away the vertical bit.I can’t remove the glass lip unfortunately, I’ve tried looking for a hanging kit but can only find one for the 26 and 52 models
I managed to fit a mounting kit so have ordered that. Will drill two small holes in the above unit.I Would just screw that horizontal section of the mounting arm to the top of the cabinet and take away the vertical bit.
The other day it made a cracking noise as if it was moving…that’s why I’m worried hahaThe way the bracket sits is similar to how my Hydra 26 lights looked. As long as bracket does not rock- should be stable. Do elevate the light fixture a little higher from water.
