Mounting several Hydra lights in a row across a wide tank means keeping them evenly spaced, level, and easy to service - the HMS system is AquaIllumination's dedicated rail-and-bracket solution for exactly that. It covers rails, arm kits, brackets, and a hanging option.
How the HMS System Fits Together
HMS builds around a rail that spans your tank, with mounting feet resting on the rim and light-specific brackets attaching each Hydra fixture at whatever spacing you choose - a more scalable approach than mounting each light independently.
Choosing Your Rail Length
HMS Rails come in 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 inch lengths, sized respectively for aquariums up to 24 inches, 25 to 36 inches, 37 to 48 inches, 49 to 60 inches, and 61 to 72 inches long - measure your tank before ordering.
Arm Kits and Brackets
- HMS Single Arm Kit - a complete mounting solution for a single Hydra 26, 32, 52, or 64 light, attaching directly to a rimless aquarium.
- HMS Double Arm Kit - vertical rails and mounting feet that rest securely on the aquarium rim, a sturdy no-drill mounting point for multi-light setups.
- HMS Hydra 32 HD Bracket - mounts a single Hydra 26 or Hydra 32 light to an HMS Rail.
- HMS Hydra 64 HD Mounting Bracket - mounts a single Hydra 52 or Hydra 64 light to an HMS Rail.
- HMS Hanging Kit - lets you suspend HMS-mounted Hydra light rails from the ceiling or a wall bracket instead of resting them on the tank rim.
