SilverHook BR GNC SilverMoon X mounting kit on BluRay X

SilverHook BR GNC: SilverMoon X mounting kit for BluRay X

The SilverHook BR for SilverMoon X GNC is a mounting kit specially designed to attach a SilverMoon X LED bar directly to a BluRay X GNC rail. It brings the two lighting systems together in a coherent, compact, and easily adjustable installation above the aquarium.

Thanks to its two acrylic hooks, the SilverHook BR holds the SilverMoon X on the heatsink of the BluRay X. The supplementary bar can be positioned precisely and then tilted to direct its light toward the desired area of the aquarium.

This system makes it possible, in particular, to add a SilverMoon X Marine to a BluRay X in order to broaden light coverage, strengthen certain wavelengths, or improve lighting of the front and rear parts of the reefscape.

A support designed to combine SilverMoon X and BluRay X

The SilverHook BR allows a SilverMoon X bar to be integrated into an installation already equipped with a BluRay X rail. The supplementary bar is suspended directly from the heatsink of the main rail, avoiding the need for a second ceiling suspension or a support resting on the aquarium edges.

This design keeps the installation compact and uniform. The BluRay X and SilverMoon X remain grouped within a single lighting assembly while retaining their respective functions and settings.

The kit is particularly useful when the BluRay X rail provides the main lighting and the SilverMoon X is used to supplement spread, enhance actinic tones, or light a less exposed area.

Two adjustable acrylic hooks

The SilverHook BR for SilverMoon X is made up of two acrylic hooks. These transparent parts provide the connection between the side grooves of the SilverMoon X bar and the heatsink of the BluRay X.

The hooks can slide within the grooves of the SilverMoon X to adjust their spacing. This makes it easier to center the bar and adapt the position of the mounting points to the configuration of the main rail.

The transparent acrylic minimizes the visual impact of the mounting system. Once installed, the SilverHook BR remains discreet and preserves the modern look of GNC lighting.

Adjustable tilt of the SilverMoon X

One of the main advantages of the SilverHook BR is the ability to adjust the angle of the SilverMoon X bar. After hanging the hooks on the BluRay X, the user can orient the bar according to the area they want to illuminate.

A SilverMoon X installed at the front of the BluRay X can be tilted toward the center of the reefscape to better light the visible face of the corals. When installed at the rear, it can be aimed at colonies located in the central area or at shaded sections of the reefscape.

This adjustable orientation improves control over light distribution without needing to move the entire BluRay X rail.

An appropriate Allen key is required to tighten the mounting screws and secure the SilverMoon X at the selected angle.

How do you install the SilverHook BR on the SilverMoon X?

Before starting the installation, unplug the BluRay X and the SilverMoon X. Place the equipment on a stable surface to carry out the assembly safely, without risk of falling into the aquarium.

Insert the two acrylic hooks into the side grooves of the SilverMoon X. Then slide them until the desired spacing is achieved. The two hooks should be positioned evenly so the weight of the bar is properly distributed.

Next, position the SilverMoon X above the BluRay X. The hooks must be inserted from above onto the first fin of the heatsink of the main rail.

Adjust the tilt of the SilverMoon X according to the desired light direction. Once the position is set, tighten the mounting screws with an Allen key to lock the hooks in place.

Add a SilverMoon X to the front or rear of the BluRay X

The SilverHook BR allows a SilverMoon X to be installed on either side of the BluRay X. The position should be chosen according to the existing light coverage and the area of the aquarium you want to enhance.

An installation at the front can improve lighting on the visible face of the corals and reduce shadows caused by light coming only from the center. It can also intensify fluorescence during front viewing of the aquarium.

An installation at the rear can supplement lighting for colonies behind the reefscape or improve light distribution in wide aquariums.

The adjustable angle of the SilverHook BR then makes it possible to direct the light toward the center of the aquarium so that part of the luminous flux is not aimed outside the tank.

Improve light coverage in a reef aquarium

Combining a BluRay X and a SilverMoon X makes it possible to multiply the lighting directions. This setup helps better illuminate the side faces of colonies and limit shadowed areas between coral branches.

The SilverHook BR is particularly useful in an aquarium containing branching corals or large colonies. As they grow, these corals can create shaded areas under their branches and reduce the light reaching the lower parts of the reefscape.

Adding a properly oriented SilverMoon X complements the main light from the BluRay X and provides a more enveloping spread.

Enhance the spectrum of the BluRay X

In addition to improving coverage, a SilverMoon X Marine can be used to adjust the visual rendering of the installation. It is especially useful for boosting the blue and Royal Blue channels to highlight the fluorescent pigments of corals.

The SilverMoon X can also be programmed to operate during certain phases of the day. It can accompany the gradual ramp-up of the BluRay X, reinforce lighting during the central period, or extend an actinic phase at the end of the day.

The SilverHook BR then ensures a clean mechanical integration between the two lights without modifying the structure of the BluRay X rail.

Balancing the suspension of the BluRay X

Adding only one SilverMoon X to one side of the BluRay X may create a slight weight difference between the front and rear of the assembly. It may then be necessary to adjust the suspension cable of the BluRay X so that the main rail returns to a horizontal position.

Loosen the adjustment device of the relevant cable slightly, reposition the cable until the BluRay X is properly balanced, then retighten the locking system.

Carry out this adjustment carefully and check that all cables remain properly secured before powering the lights back on.

Precautions before use

Check that the two hooks are correctly inserted into the grooves of the SilverMoon X and that they rest on the same fin of the BluRay X heatsink.

Make sure the screws are tightened enough to prevent any unintended change in tilt. The SilverMoon X bar must not be able to slide or tip when the assembly is handled carefully.

The electrical cables must remain away from the water surface and must not place any strain on the SilverMoon X. Provide a downward loop before each electrical connection so that water cannot follow the cable to the outlet.

After the first installation, check the fastenings again after a few days of use.

Maintenance of the SilverHook BR GNC

Clean the acrylic hooks regularly to remove salt deposits and dust. Use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and avoid abrasive products that could scratch the surface.

Periodically check the tightness of the screws as well as the stability of the SilverMoon X. If the bar needs to be reoriented, hold it with one hand while slightly loosening the adjustment screws.

Before any major intervention, unplug both lights. Do not disassemble the SilverHook BR when the SilverMoon X is directly above the water without being supported.

Why choose the SilverHook BR for SilverMoon X GNC?

The SilverHook BR GNC makes it possible to neatly combine a SilverMoon X with a BluRay X rail. Its two-acrylic-hook design offers discreet mounting, precise centering, and adjustable orientation of the supplementary bar.

It is a practical solution for enhancing the spectrum, improving coral fluorescence, or extending light coverage without adding a second independent suspension above the aquarium.

Easy to position in the grooves of the SilverMoon X and directly hooked onto the heatsink of the BluRay X, the SilverHook BR makes it possible to create a compact, modular GNC lighting installation suited to the needs of a marine or reef aquarium.
