How can I mount this so they give better light on the tank? I have two of them. ImageUploadedByMonsterAquariaNetwork1380923733.138899.jpg

Buy 1" diameter pvc tubing, cut in half. Length should match the size of ur tank, space the leds on each end. To mount simply drill 2 holes on each side in the middle where led would mount on the top of the PVC, then take zip ties and thread them thru the holes to hold the leds :D

The white PVC will act as a great reflector as well!

Here's a 1 minute android sketch via finger. Hard to comprehend but you get the idea

Lol Why I didn't think of that. Right now I just placed some tin foil over em it works but maybe the shape of the pipe lined with foil will focus the light more.
