AquaIllumination Prime Tank Mount, Black

Works great

The AquaIllumination Prime Tank Mount is a fantastic accessory for my AquaIllumination Prime light. It was incredibly easy to set up and securely attaches to the tank, giving me peace of mind that the light will stay in place. The black finish is sleek and modern, blending seamlessly with my tank setup without being overly obtrusive. The mount is made of high-quality materials that feel durable and stable, and it does an excellent job of holding the light at the perfect height and angle for optimal coverage. I’ve been using it for several weeks now, and it’s been rock-solid, with no signs of loosening or shifting.One of the standout features of this mount is its adjustability. It allows for precise positioning of the light, ensuring even light distribution across the tank. The mount also doesn't take up much space and keeps the tank looking clean and organized. Overall, this is a well-designed, functional mount that enhances the performance of the AquaIllumination Prime light. If you’re looking for a reliable, stylish way to mount your light fixture, the AquaIllumination Prime Tank Mount is a great investment. I’m extremely pleased with it!

So short and sweet before I get into my small rant. It is very sturdy, easily adjustable and much better than the flexible arm I have on my other aquarium. This is a new aquarium for a sexy shrimp and some corals and just put it together. Now for my rant. There are no instructions and everyone I see has the arm upside down, including the picture in the product. This was definitely built by an engineer for engineers. If you turn the arm upside down, it allows for a) easy adjustment as the screws are on top, b) the cord fits in the slot and there is no binding. It also puts the cord immediately on the bottom of the arm to help "hide" it. My only other complaint is that it should come with some small black zip-ties to keep the cord tight to the mount. I will add pictures later.

I wasn't going to write a review on this product but after reading SO many bad reviews and even considering not purchasing the AI prime because of it, I have to give my 2 cents. From opening the package, to attaching the light, and then mounting it to my tank, it took me no more than 5 mins to do so and that's with watching a short instruction video they recommend, and adjustments. The disclaimer on the plastic bag clearly states to not over tighten. This can not be stressed enough. A allen wrench is included with the hardware but it doesn't take much to secure the screws. If you watch the video, it also states that a small gap is normal between the spacers, which I think the majority of the bad reviewers failed to comprehend. Whether the construction of the mount is fragile to the parts being cheap, regardless, if you simply follow the one instruction provided, you will have a clean, sturdy, mounted led over your tank like I do in no time. Now I'm not a engineer and I like consider myself pretty handy when it comes to putting things together, but instructions, no instructions, this mount could not be any easier to set up.

I have read some reviews that this mount is weak and the light drops downward. I did not have this problem but I modified the hardware slightly. I bought two mounts and tried a few different things. First, I took the horizontal brace and rotated it 180 degrees - meaning the 90 degree bend on the end is pointing up. I put the black washer in backwards so the slight curve was towards the light and then screwed in the ball screw all the way and its stays nicely - but doing it this way means you cannot attach the other two screws and bracket (which it does not need anyhow) The second mount I left all the screws as they recommend but I still rotated the brace 180 degrees and it too stays perfectly level and has not dropped down in over a week. I suspect that other uses put in the washer the wrong way - its quite subtle. Positioned correctly, the ball screw is seated deeper and this allows the other two screws to tighten down and lock it in.

I had to order this to mount my new AI Prime light to the BioCube 14 I have.It took longer than expected to arrive, but only a couple of days.Build quality is good and all parts fit together nicely. It took me a few minutes to figure out the assembly as NO instructions are provided.I have seen in other reviews that the cable is getting damaged from where it goes through the hole. I examined and tried two different ways to thread the power cable through the holes and found if installed one way, yes the cable is pinched. But the way I have it, it has no issue of damage... unless it falls in the tank.Overall, a must buy to mount the AI Prime light because no mounting option is provided.

Like others have mentioned. This is not a once size fits all sort of thing. Have a 29 Gallon tank and the slidding bracket forces you to mount on the side not on the back because it sticks out too much. Also the stupid ball mount that is used to hold the lighting fixtures does not screw in all the way so that it has some movement with two other screw holding it down. It the dumbest over engineering job for such a simple metal piece. Almost broke the wire trying to get mounted. Can't believe ive spent over an hour trying to figure out how to get this thing fitted in some sort of way. I've you like the challenge of putting a puzzle together on something that should be 5min.......The light itself has 1 screw to go into. How difficult should it be to put another screw in?

I had to set the mount on the arm outside my tank. Basically backwards. I have a skimmer and reactor in middle chamber of my waterbox cube 20 and could not set it up inside the back chamber. It works without issues.
