Meridian BOT Mount - Reef Breeders

The Meridian BOT Mount offers a clean, purpose-built solution for mounting Reef Breeders Meridian and Meridian Edge fixtures directly to the back euro-brace of a reef tank. Rather than relying on a hanging cable system or a separate light stand, this approach positions the fixture close to the water surface and keeps the overall footprint of the system compact. The mount is engineered specifically for the Meridian product family, ensuring proper fitment and load distribution across the arm or arms.

Compatibility spans the full Meridian lineup, from the compact Meridian 11 up to the Meridian 63 and associated Edge bar combinations. Smaller fixtures typically require one arm, while mid-range and larger configurations call for two. The largest systems—such as the Meridian 63 paired with two Edge 63 bars—require up to four arms to distribute weight properly. The included arm count chart should be consulted before ordering to ensure you purchase the correct quantity for your specific fixture and tank combination.

Installation relies on the tank's existing euro-bracing. Before mounting, verify that the brace section you intend to use is structurally capable of handling the combined weight of your light and the mount itself, particularly under the rotational stress (torsion) that can develop as the arm extends over the water. Not all euro-braced tanks are built to the same standard, so this assessment is an important pre-installation step.

The BOT Mount is suited to hobbyists who want a tidy, low-profile mounting arrangement and are already running—or planning to run—a Meridian or Edge fixture. If you are mixing fixture types or running a non-Reef Breeders light, this mount is not the appropriate solution. Order the number of arms indicated in the compatibility table for your specific light configuration.
