Mounting T5 Fixture?

aaroncoolio · Jul 20, 2017

Hi, I recently been getting my tank ready, but I can't figure out how to mount the fixture. I purchased this one https://www.amazon.com/Sun-Blaze-Output-Fluorescent-960315/dp/B009GCQWX2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1500578429&sr=8-4&keywords=t5+fixture and replaced the bulb with a Reptisun 10.0. Can any of you guy post pictures of how you mounted it with command hooks? Thanks

Come on guys, who uses the command hooks here to help this poster out ?

I've used command hooks to mount a T8 Zilla Slimline fixture. There are holes on the side you can use to hang them from the command hooks but I found it to be wobbly and stopped using them.

Does your tank have a solid top? Did the fixture come with clips to use to hang it from a wire? If you take the bulb out there may be screw holes you can use to screw it to a solid top as well. I'm not familiar with that fixture so I'm not sure exactly what's available with it.

For your fixture i would use L-brackets.
