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.
