Product Overview
The Ultum Nature Systems Aquarium Light Hanging Bar offers an elegant, low-profile alternative to stand-mounted light poles. Constructed from high-grade, rust-proof stainless steel, this suspension bar clamps directly onto the glass panel of your rimless aquarium, allowing your light array to float seamlessly from above. The universal mounting hardware is engineered with precise weight distribution to sit securely on your tank without scratching the glass or causing water to spill over the edge.
*Important Note: This listing includes the rim-mount stainless steel bars and glass clamp assemblies only. Light fixtures and suspension wire cables are sold separately.
Key Features & Benefits
- Direct Rim-Mounting Brackets: Clamps securely onto rimless aquarium glass or acrylic panels up to 15mm thick, eliminating the need to drill into your cabinet stand or wall.
- Rust-Proof Stainless Steel: Features a sleek, brushed stainless steel finish that gracefully resists humidity and splash exposure without rusting or corroding over time.
- Full Multi-Directional Adjustability: Slide horizontal arms forward/backward or adjust vertical height to dial in exact PAR coverage and light spread across your aquascape.
- Anti-Siphoning Glass Clamps: Heavily stabilized mounting brackets grip tank glass tightly without inducing water capillary action or trickling over the rim.
- Flexible Single or Dual Configurations: Available as a single bar to suspend compact puck/pendant spotlights, or as a pair of bars to lift dual-anchor strip fixtures like the UNS Titan 1.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Should I buy a single bar or a pair set for my light fixture?
A Single Bar is ideal for centralized point-source spotlights or small puck lights. A Pair Set (2 Bars) is required for long strip lights or pendant fixtures (such as the UNS Titan 1 or Chihiros Vivid 2) that require two suspension cables on opposite ends of the tank.
2. Will this hanging bar fit rimmed aquariums?
The mounting clamps are designed primarily for rimless glass or acrylic aquariums up to 15mm thick. It can be installed on rimmed aquariums only if the total rim frame thickness does not exceed 15mm.
3. Are hanging wire cables included with this bar?
No. This listing includes the stainless steel bars and glass rim clamp assemblies only. Suspension wire cables are typically included with your light fixture or available as separate accessories.

Reviews
I haven't set the light
"I haven't set the light bars up yet since they are for a future scape, but they arrived quickly and in good condition. I am docking one star from the overall purchase due to the packaging. The light bar itself seems to be in a good state, but they were shipped in a "single" box that was actually two halves of separate boxes that had been taped together. The light bars took up a small volume of the entire "box" and no additional material had been included to eat up some of the extra empty space. As a result, when the package arrived, it had been clearly been crushed at some point and the individual light bar boxes had been bent out of shape and torn into. Again, the bars themselves seem to be fine thankfully, but the rest of the packaging left something to be desired given the cost."
Great quality! super sturdy and easy to adjust
"really elevates the look of my aquarium and gives me more flexibility with how high i want my light over the tank"
"Excelente"
Great quality and the metal is rust resistant!
"Great quality! Love the bars! Hangs the lights well!"
"The ability to be able to adjust your height and create that floating look with the aesthetics alongside it, amazing purchase. Do be careful on the threads though I did get a aluminum splinter left over from product manufacturing."
Nice Light Hanging Kit!
"This is a nice hanging kit!"
Elegant, Rich, the Best Out There!
"I bought this for the looks—and it delivers! The aesthetic is expensive and chic, particularly compared to most of the competive products out there that are much more klunky and primitive in design and finish. The light fixture cord hiding design of this stand is great—makes the overall presentation looks so elegant and rich. It’s a little tricky to work with, wrangling the cord through. but worth it for the streamlined cord-less look. My gripes are minor. The clear plastic mounting screws look updated and great, but are more delicate and not as “robust” in feeling as metal screws in similar stands (Chihiros). The arms also, at full extension, tilt forward very, very slightly."
Great light hanger
"Looks very sleek"
JUST WOW!
"Just wow, that workmanship of this product is amazing. Looks so wonderful with my ADA Solar RGB Lights!"
"Easy to install, Well done on the design and the materials are good"
Q&A
- Any minimum requirement on the thickness of the tank? is this going yo fit on my 5mm thick tank?
- Hi Justin, Thank you for your question. The UNS Light Hanging Bar requires a minimum tank glass thickness of around 6mm for safe and stable installation. This ensures that the bar has a secure hold and prevent slipping or tipping. We hope this helps! Best Regards,
- What is the total height which a light can be elevated. For example the max height from the rim of the tank to the light? I'm building a riparium and it would be nice to elevate the light high enough to support the plants above the rim.
- Hi Kevin, Thank you for your question. The maximum height at which you can elevate a light using the UNS Light Hanging Bar will depend on the specific model of light and the length of the hanging cables. Generally, keeping the light about 8-12 inches above the water surface is recommended for effective growth. Please reach out to support@buceplan.com with additional questions. Best regards, Team Buce Plant
- I have a TwinStar 300EA IV light for my UNS 40c. Would this hanging bar be compatible with that light? If not, is it possible to get brackets for it to grip the sides of the light so I can utilize the hanging wires? Hopefully that makes sense. Thank you!
- Hello Amy, thank you for your question! We appreciate your inquiry about the compatibility of the hanging bar with your TwinStar 300EA IV light. Unfortunately, the TwinStar EA lighting series is not directly compatible with the light hanging bar. However, we understand your desire to utilize a hanging fixture for your light. While we have not personally tried a DIY method for this purpose, it's certainly an option you can explore. You may consider creating custom brackets or supports that can grip the sides of the light, allowing you to use the hanging wires effectively. Keep in mind the weight and stability of the DIY solution to ensure the safety of your setup. If you choose to go this route, we recommend carefully assessing the structural integrity and security of the DIY modifications. Additionally, ensure that any adjustments made do not compromise the safety or functionality of your Twinstar light. We hope this information helps. If there is anything else we can assist you with, please email us at support@buceplant.com. Thank you, Team Buce Plant
- I have a UNS 60S. I am looking at two of these bars and the pendant version of the ONF Flat Plus. Would this put too much pressure on the back glass since UNS aquariums of this size are only 5MM thick?
- Hi Cindy, Thank you for reaching out to us. Please contact our customer support team at support@buceplant.com where they will be able to further assist you. Best regards, Buceplant Team
- Can I use this to hang the Twinstar 900SP ?
- Hi Kyle, Thank you for your question. If you were looking to hang your 900SP, you would need two of the bars! Best.
