Emerald525 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Help! I got a call from the Lakeridge teacher this weekend! The tank is all ready to go except it needs new lights hooked up. The wiring from the previous lights was a fire hazard. Can anyone take a look and see what they need? I would like this done before school starts! Pm me if you can help!

Toby Flenderson Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 What kind of lights are they? What the setup like right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerald525 Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL I'm not sure. I thought we were going to do a MH setup and had the ballast and the light but not sure now. I would need someone to get into contact with the teacher and see what we have and then figure out what we would need to get it going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHS_TFT Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hi Kim, This is Sarah, the teacher at Lakeridge. Thanks so much for working on this! Right now the tank has no lights and I don't have anything to start from. Marshall said the ones that came with the tank looked dangerous and he got rid of them. I also need help getting a final couple things set up (the protein skimmer isn't working right now). I have students coming next Tuesday and it would be great to have it up and running by then. I can be here almost any time, except for a few teacher meetings in the mornings this week. I appreciate any help I can get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Flenderson Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Seems like a plug and play t5 fixture would be best for a school. Wish I had one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuttleFishandCoral Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a icecap 430 if that would help. It has a wiring harness and t12 waterproof endcaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanktop74 Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 The dimms of the tank are 48 long, 24 deep and 24 high. the Canopy that is on the tank is 24 inches tall, as Marshall wanted it taller for the MH's he had planned on putting in there. So we need lights that will go down nearly 4 ft. Granted they probably won't be doing sps, so they don't need a high par all the way to the bottom.
