Hello Maegan, with the school situation these days I am not sure how or if you are maintaining your science class tanks, but I am giving everything that is left away. Probably to much for your use but it might go at another group tear down if someone ordinates it. I asked one of the long time members about that idea tonight as he wanted some of the stuff for himself. Everything needs to go the same day.
You can find the details by searching Sale Want ads for "120" and look at Free 120 Reef System.
Best Regards,
Dennis

Reef Central has a variety of examples on their DIY page (six pages on this title last 30 days alone) of different combos: http://www.reefcentr...d.php?t=2364598

Reef Central has a variety of examples on their DIY page (six pages on this title last 30 days alone) of different combos: http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2364598 Depending on your tank width maybe just adding EverGrow LED's as a separate unit(s) in addition to your T5 fixture might work. How much space do you have for lights? Or as suggested above just go with one or two of EverGrow's fixtures.

The TEK 8 I used is wide enough it insert almost any LED fixture up to about 9" wide without effecting the T5 reflectors using a flush mount approach as shown in final product. If anybody wants to drop by for pros & cons just drop me a PM.

No problem as I prefer the EverGrow LED's close to the water (a few inches) to reduce spillage into the room and seeing the LED's sitting in the chairs is a negative. As to spread D120's are a combination of 90*, 120* Lenses with the option of changing those out (or removing some lens completely) as the setup matures to tweak the coverage. The D120's just "sit" in the frame and come out very easily. The new 4 54w T5 bulbs do a good job of blending everything and are 2 Actinic and 2 15 K's. I don't think 2 D120's are enough for a 120 (48 x 24 x 24) reef tank even if hung high.

http://wamas.org/forums/gallery/album/1409-tek-8-t5-to-a-4-t5-2-d120s/ Need to figure out how to copy pictures from my WAMAS gallery to DYI section. In the meantime here is the link to my Gallery.

The tanks are now stable and are 100% tied into the 100 gallon remote refugium / sump in utility room. The live rock used is mostly 12 years old. Two D120's were installed over the 54 g on the left now and two D120's and an IT 2080 on the 180 covering the full light spectrum with the existing 4 bulb VHO fixture (mixed bulbs). And I am using the dimmers to match the lights look. The 54 on the right also has an IT 2080. In person with all lights on the same "look" continues the one tank illusion. Will post a new picture with current lighting soon. Cell phone picture is not good but you can get the idea.

Good morning I just traded another WAMAS member for one of your older GSA calcium reactors and was wondering if you still had any setup instructions available. Might be a CA-1 ? Thanks, Dennis

I have enough extra feather caulerpa in my 100g refugium to stock a few tanks and you can have what you need for free. Near GMU in Fairfax just send PM.
-
Let me know if you(or anyone else)need any feather caulerpa as I must harvest my 180g & 100g refugium as I no longer have my large Tangs to eat it. I have have enough to fill a 20 gallon tank. I am near you down 123 by GMU and available most of the time. Have pictures but they are to large to post here.
