    Mounting LSM moon lights on Kessil goose neck

    How do people have their moon lights mounted?

    I have 2 Kessil's and was just looking for some ideas on how to get these mounted. (I currently just have them sitting next to the tank)

    Here is what I am working with.

    I have 5 Kessils above my 240 gal aquarium with 4 moon lights. I used a piece of 1/2" by 1/6" aluminum painted black, in which I drilled equally spaced holes between the Kessils to zip tie the four Moonlights to the bar. I then wrapped the moon light wire around bar prior to zip
    tying the assembly to the goose necks using holes I had drilled in the bar in either side of the goose necks.

    Yes you can get the aluminum bar at Lowes however I ended up buying one on Amazon because they didn't have small enough ones at Home Depot.

    I am happy with the amount of Moon light that is provided to the tank. I can see to the bottom of the tank.

    Here is my current Moon light programming. (this makes sure we have some type of light in the tank when we are home)

    Set OFF
    If Moon 000/000 Then ON
    If Time 20:00 to 22:59 Then ON

    They are used to offset.

    Ex If Moon XXX/YYY Then ON

    means turn on from XXX minutes after moonrise until YYY minutes after moonset. If either has a negative sign, it means before instead of after.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can PROVE it mathematically.
