I have an in-wall tank, and would like to mount a kessil light from the wall, with something like a gooseneck so I can position it over the tank. The gooseneck looks like it only comes with a tank-edge adapter, but is there anything that would mount straight to the wall?

I guess I could just bend up an L bracket, mount that to the wall, and then hook the gooseneck to that like it was a tank rim. Would the gooseneck be stable sticking straight out of the wall and then into a gooseneck 90' adapter?

Depending on which model you are buying, it may come with a hanging ring. Then you could have a bracket come out from the wall and hang it off that. I did something similar to that with my Radions, and it works fine.

I was going to do this same task with my in wall. I was going to weld a flat bracket with a weldnut and mount it to the wall. The whole bracket would be about the size of a playing card with a nut welded in the center and a coupel holes to screw into a stud.

Can anyone who has the gooseneck confirm that if you just straighten it out completely that it can hold the light in place parallel to the floor?
I use the gooseneck mount for the kessil tuna flora in my sump and it would have no problem holding it straight out. It’s pretty sturdy and stiff.
