I was using the Aquatic T5 with my 3 Kessil A360x on my 65g. I switched from T5 to 2 Quanta Pro mesa blue. Hubby couldn't see a way to mount the quanta to the Aquaticlife, so he did a DIY.

Can you please share some details on how was it mounted? I'm interested to know as well.

I thought I saw a pic of the quanta led bar mounted to the side of the aquaticlife T5 light somewhere. Which is why I assumed there's a mount for sale out there.

Hubby made a frame out of 1" wide and1/8" aluminium bars from Home Depot and the screws slide into the side groove of the quanta bars. No drilling into the into the bars or anything or it will damage the bars and void warranty. The screws that slid into the groove is from the kit that that was included with the lights. He just added the washer. Without the washer, the screw would be too long. He cut the angle 1" x1"x1/16 aluminum to join the 4 corners. You don't need much, so buy the shortest one

Thanks for sharing, for some reason I thought the T5 hybrid fixture was modified. I might go the same route.
