Some people mount angle brackets to the wall and hang it from there. I made a hanger out of 3/4in conduit.

If I had it to do over again on ordering my 3 D120s, I would not order any UV or Violet LEDs, and would have gotten more warm whites in combination with a few red/greens instead. All of my my violets and uv emitters don't seem to have much output or effect and their internal lenses have all turned black within a couple of months which has got to reduce effectiveness/efficiency a great deal.. JMTC & GL!
Do you have any pictures of your setup? I found pictures of your tank but they only show the lights but not how they are hung. Thanks.

Here are a couple shots of my hanger setup. I used a couple pieces of 3/4" EMT conduit and painted them with a hammertone black spray paint. To attach them to my stand I used some unistrut and 3/4" conduit clamps. If that is not an option for you, I have seen people just attach them to the wall making sure that they found a stud.

just pulled the trigger on an IT2080 from reefbreeders with the default layout. he said he would throw in a bunch of extra LED's for me to play with. I will update with pics when i get it. Thanks for all the information everyone. I cant wait to see it.=!

I'm pretty sure you can order the IT2080 from Evergrow with Cree leds, but it costs extra. It was like $50 more for the D120 (don't quote me on that, my memory sucks), so on the IT2080 I would guess it's more like $100 extra. I didn't even ask, I'm getting mine with the standard Bridgelux leds. I've seen a D120 with no lenses (120 degree optics) and it had a PAR of 300+ at 20 inches.

A couple of weeks ago I got a quote from EG on 10 D120's and 2 IT2080's in one shipment. The D120 with lenses was $105 and the IT2080 was $310 plus about $35 each for shipping. I have to go back and ask for a new quote as the numbers have changed. I now need 6 D120, 2 IT2040 and 7 IT2080 and I hope they can do a little better.

They only do goup buys if all the lights ship to one location. It's best to try and do it thru your local club or possibly with a LFS. I started one just by posting up the idea on our local club website and we now have 9 or 10 people in the group buy.

Mine does on a 36 by 18 by 21 so I'd say yes
