I recently bought three of the ReeFi Uno 2.0’s and have initially bought 2040 aluminum upright tank mounts for my Cade 1500 S2, which is 59 inches long. I think these lights will look pretty spartan mounted this way and I would really like to mount them in a fixture above my tank, but I haven’t been able to figure out which one I want or if I want to custom build one. I figured that instead of reinventing the wheel I would ask the forum and see if anyone here has mounted the ReeFi Uno 2.0’s in an overhead fixture? And if so, what is it…
Initially, I was looking at some of the hybrid fixtures with T5 bulbs on the outside, and the Uno’s on the inside, but the mounting height for the Uno is much higher (recommended 15.7” above my tank) vs the T5 recommended mounting height. That poses a problem! Also, Daniel (the designer/owner of ReeFi) says that three Uno’s will be plenty for my tank and the only reason I may need more light in the future would be if the SPS corals in the upper column cause shading or shadowing for the corals growing below them….
If anyone out there has some ideas, hook me up.
Show me some pictures!
Thanks in advance!!
