I have one piece of equipment left from the tear down of the CHS aquarium--the lighting unit. It is a 6' light with 3x250 HQI DE bulbs, plus LED moonlights. It needs new bulbs, but otherwise is a sweet light. I don't know if you are interested or want to consolidate your lighting into one unit, but it is yours if you want it (I may have to charge you $1 so I can make a record of it for the boss). If it does not fit into your plans for this tank, it sounds like you have other tanks/etc. that it might work for, or you could sell it to buy some needed equipment. I would like to see it go to another teacher. LMK if you're interested and when we can hook up to get it from Columbine.
