Reefbreeders LEDs without a canopy?

[Gdbyrd]

I'm getting a new tank Monday hopefully. I'm considering looking into LEDs and I've read really good reviews on these lights, but it seems like everyone that's mounted them has done so with a canopy. How do you think I could get away with it without canopy mounting? And running from the ceiling isn't gonna happen : /

For a 150g tank I'd need 3 or 4 of those? Planning an SPS tank I think.

Lastly, anyone that has them..what degree did you go at? Some people were saying they wished they did the 120 because they had spotlighting pretty bad with 90. How hot do they run??

Thanks!

I wish I could do a ceiling mount, but I have like 20' ceilings, lol. IF, that's a huge if, I got permission from my wife, I don't know where I'd find a ladder high enough to reach it.

Do they sell bars that mount on or behind a tank so you can suspend lights from them?

You could try finding some goose necks and then running a a small clip from the unit mounts to the goose neck.
