    If you have followed my cube build, you have seen my custom AI mounting arm, well good news if you want one you can now order yours online @ Custom Hanging Bracket - Modular LED.ca be sure you supply accurate measurements, and the top of the mount should only come to the center of your tank, you will need about 6" for the bend to clear the edge of the tank as well as and additional 6" to allow for full light spread from the SOL so be sure to factor this into your measurements. with this arm you can get about 1' of play, so you could potentially have it mounted at 24" above the tank, or only 6".
    I love this arm its super functional and simple too. very clean
    it is made from 1" square tubing, and this allows for the AI and Radion cables to be neatly tucked inside the tube for a clean looking light with great cable managment

    Here are some shots of the unit

    not at all mine is running cool all day, I put a washer in between the heat sink and mounting plate, to allow a little more air flow in that region
