you'll need an hex key aka allen. you can get a set pretty cheap. 5/64 is the size. At least that's what size it is on my 4x24 sun power.

Was thinking of possibly doing this in the future on my sunpower. What reefbrite strip are you using? Actinic or 50/50? And what t-5 bulbs.

Post a pic when you get a chance.

I'm just trying to figure out how to best hang my ATI now (can't set the tank up until the end of Aug).

I used the all blue. I don't think it's strong enough to get any shimmer out of it when it's running with the t5's. The all blue effect really makes corals pop when it's running on it's own. You just can't get that effect from t5's.

I ran several different combos, but in the end I went for a pretty blue tank. All the pics I have make it look bluer than it really was, so it really won't give you a good idea of what you'll get. front to back:

reefbrite blue
blue plus
coral plus
blue plus
blue plus
