What’s Included

• Step 1
  • Hold the mounting rail over the aquarium.
  • Use a pencil to mark the center point light placement.
  • Use a pencil to mark where the edge of the aquarium line up with the mounting rail. (this will be used for vertical rail placement.)
• Step 2
  • Place the mounting rail and vertical rail next to each other so that the center channel is accessible.
  • Run the light power cable through the channels on both bars (see image above).
• Step 3
  • Pull the power supply cable out of the center channel and locate it at the light placement mark closest to the vertical rail.
  • Slide on the Hydra FiftyTwo/Hydra TwentySix bracket to the same light placement mark and tighten screw.

• Step 4
  Insert the mounting rail and vertical rail into the pivoting bracket as shown above. Make sure that the bracket is oriented to the mounting rail.

• Step 5
  With the vertical rail attached relocate the mounting rail to line up with the tank edge mark.

• Step 6

  • Tighten bracket attachment screws A & B.
  • Adjust Mounting Rail tension with C.

• Step 7

  • Make sure the nut and bolt are loosely screwed together on the clamp to allow the nut to fit into the rail side channel.
  • Slide the clamp onto the vertical rail as shown above.

• Step 8

  • Slide the clamp to the position that will reflect the desired height of the HMS to be mounted above the aquarium.
  • Use the included Hex key and tighten the screw on either side of the clamp to secure in place.

• Step 9
  If necessary, before mounting the light, make fine adjustments to HMS assembly width with respect to tank edges.

• Step 10
  Off of the tank, attach your Hydra to the Hydra FiftyTwo/Hydra TwentySix bracket and plug it into the previously routed cable.

• Step 11
  Attach the two End Caps to each side of the Mounting Rail.

• Step 12
  Place the HMS assembly on top of the tank and tighten clamp thumbscrew to make sure it is tight enough to stay secure to the glass.

• Step 13
  Create a drip loop before the extension connector by ensuring your power cable has enough length to droop down below the connector, then back up.
