hygger Aquarium Light Riser Fits 957 978 999 918, Universal Fish Tank Light Holder Adjustable Led Aquarium Light Mounting Bracket, Sturdy Aluminum Ultra Wide Base1.7''

I was going to make my own but my wife said it would be ugly. So for just $20 more than it would cost for materials I purchased two of these. For the price I think it’s an excellent value. I flipped the bracket around so the light could be higher and not so much of the bracket would stick out beyond the light. It’s not the prettiest, but it’s easy to assemble and install. Plus its not one of my showey rimless tanks so this fits the bill perfectly.

This is an extremely well made, sturdy light holder. It was easy to assemble and install. A couple of notes: if you have a narrow tank (mine is a 29 gallon, 12.5" deep), the horizontal bracket may stick out slightly over the front edge. I dealt with this by mounting the riser/horizontal piece backward on the bracket. This means that the screws to the bracket sit inside my tank, and the riser comes from behind the tank, which actually makes it easier to install. My tank has a plastic rim. The top two screws clamped against the upper part of the rim, while the lower two screws brace against the glass. It has three clips that for cord management along the horizontal piece and down the back. I didn't use these, as my cord is at the end of my tank and it's easier to just route it that way. The light coverage for my tank is much better with this light riser installed. Hygger does make a smaller riser, but it won't fit my 30" light. I have a larger tank that I will set up soon, and probably will use this on that tank, and try something different on this one, but it is well worth the money I spent and makes the tank look much nicer.

I bought this after unfortunately buying a hygger riser that was only a little bit higher than the standard. I was frustrated because I wanted one that I could open the lid cleanly without the light in the way. First, I assembled as directed. For a rimmed tank, this doesn’t work very well. It ends up cracking the inner lip and feels unstable. Two possible solutions: 1) flip it around which I tried in the last picture. The con is that the standard tank lids won’t close flush because of the length of screws 2) solution: cut a piece of wood a little bit thicker than the inner lip so it’ll take the force and secure it see first picture Second issue was at the products intended height, it still knocks with my lid. My solution was to swap the arms so the longer one is vertical. Con is that the light is not exactly centered anymore So I did the wood plus flipping arms and I’m happy!

Great for any aquarium lights. Fully adjustable. Fits any light. Cheap on price and functional. Looks better than most stands and is sturdy.

Really disappointed with this. It’s so hard to find an attachment for a rimmed tank, so I am giving them credit for that. The product itself is nice and appreciated all the included hardware and tools for set up. It’s difficult to set up to an existing tank, as you need clear back access to screw in the bolts, even on one of my tanks with better back access. I ordered several of these based on provide manufacturers info that one supports up to a 30” light. As pictured it didn’t support a 30” and had a huge lean, even prior to adjusting the height, adding the light, and keeping the light closest to the attachments to prevent further lean, which creates a protruding eye sore of the area where the light could retract to. Adjusted to smaller light and still had the same issue. On another tank I ended up having to use two attachments on the front to prevent the lean and support a 30” light. Adjusting to the front to attach made the look much different and now I’m debating returning all the items. In theory, the adjusting functions of the height and depth of light is cool but laughable when you can’t use it as it makes the product lean.

I dont know why I bother with this company. Unless you have a small light dont buy this product Following the manufacturers suggestion of just use two well their engineers must have come from a fast food back ground These brackets will not hold a decent light without putting sever pressure on the tank

Works as intended, can be angled but not past 5° angle. Very good material, coated well. Definitely nice to be able to move it forward or back. Keeps the light bar far enough away where the bubbles do not hit the light screen and cause film build up or calcium build up as well.

The product is great. However, I am returning because it is bigger that I need for my tank. I have purchased this product before for another one of my tanks and think it is fantastic.
