AquaIllumination states this bracket lets you mount a Hydra 52 or Hydra 64 to the HMS rail. It covers the Hydra 52HD as well. And this matters: per AquaIllumination, the Hydra 64HD, because of its size, can only be mounted using HMS systems — there's no alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an HMS rail to use this bracket?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The bracket connects the fixture to the rail; it doesn't work alone. The HMS rail comes in 24 to 72in. and is sold separately. We don't stock rails but we can order them — write us before placing your order so we can put the whole thing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the bracket included with the HMS Single Arm Kit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. AquaIllumination specifies that the 52\/64 bracket is included with HMS Single Arm kits. If you're mounting one fixture with a Single Arm kit, don't buy this bracket on top. It's mainly for adding a fixture to an existing rail, or replacing a lost bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many brackets do I need for two fixtures?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo — one per fixture. The HMS rail lets you mount several Hydras side by side, but each fixture needs its own bracket to attach to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this bracket work with a Hydra Edge or a Prime?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, neither. The Hydra Edge requires its own size-specific adapter kits (44HD or 68HD) because of its edge mounts and pivoting capability. The Prime has entirely separate hardware. This bracket is for the Hydra 52, 52HD and 64HD only.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Illumination","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39381364768939,"sku":"","price":32.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0513\/7108\/1899\/products\/aqua_illumination_hydra52_bracket.jpg?v=1774648741","url":"https:\/\/reefsolution.com\/en\/products\/aquaillumination-hms-bracket-hydra-52-64","provider":"Aquarium ReefSolution inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
