Questions on Aquatic Life LED T5 Hybrid fixture

[sumant19]

I am looking to supplement Kessil AP700 light with T5 lights and thinking of getting Aquatic Life 36" T5 LED Hybrid. I have 2 questions -

1. As far as possible, I am looking to hang the combined fixture (Aquatic Life + Kessil AP700) on the Kessil A-series Mounting arms. Not very keen on drilling holes in the ceiling. Has anyone mounted this fixture on Kessil mounting arms? I am not sure whether these mounting arms can support the combined weight of both fixtures. If you have this fixture, how did you mount it? If you can share pictures then that will be most helpful.

2. The tank is 72g bowfront - 4' long. Should I go for 48" Aquatic Life fixture or 36" will suffice? Its going to be mixed reef with softies, LPS and SPS, so I think 36" would suffice.

I have an aquatic life 24" hybrid with a reefbreeders photon led and the hybrid part is very light even with bulbs in. I would estimate 75% of the weight is from the led with 25% being from the t5 part. I have mine mounted to L hooks, you can see some pics in my build thread.

I don't know about the kessil arms in particular but I thought I'd give you what I know, the hybrid is awesome tho I highly recommend

I also have the 24" hybrid with radions. I'm currently hanging mine on some electrical conduit. If I were to do it again, I would use 1/2" pipe instead of the 1/4" pipe i used. The pipe supports it but also sags with all the weight of the lights

I have the 48" with 3 hydra 26HD hanging from the ceiling. not sure how the hydra's compare weight wise but I think the combined weight would be too much for the back glass to support, assuming that is where the mounting arms you have attach.
