Red Sea 50 - mounting to older style tank

[Hjnlssmith]

I have a 75gal tank. 48x21x18. It had s plastic border around the top with a center support and I have 2ea hinged lids. I want to mount a Red Sea light, but it looks like the mounting hardware is designed for tanks that do not have the plastic rim around the top. I really don't want to cut away the rim. Are there any solutions people have had to adapt or modify the mounts to fit? Thanks for any clued.

Correct. You could hang it?

Yah. That is another option that I am considering. Would prefer to mount on the aquarium though if possible.

With the rim that could be a challenge.

Yah. It's still a very common design for a tank. Really surprised (disppointed) that Red Sea doesn't have a mounting option already out there for this situation.

They didn't really design the ReefLEDs for anyone else's tanks...
