I just picked up a older Red Sea Max 250. Everything works other than the T-5 Hood I was thinking about leaving it off and going LED. Any thoughts? Thanks

what's wrong with the hood? I'd do an LED T5 combo within the hood

The hood is falling apart. The "tombstone" connections are corroded. Plus I heard that the biggest problem with this style tank was the heat. I was thinking leaving the hood off would help combat this issue.
