Ok, by looking at the Intank website, I can pretty much cover it all except lights. Are you going to keep the hood or go rimless?
Are you serious?
Rimless. I'm thinking but I'm not sure because our office and chemicals.

The original! It’s a 150w metal halide (double ended bulb) in the hood. Grows my corals like weeds. I kept the 4x3watt leds in the corners as well, they don’t really do much but i figured it couldn’t hurt to add alittle to the blue spectrum.

It’s also great to not have to ever worry about finding a fish on the floor!
A screen would stop that. I like the hood to help with chemical exposure.

I wouldn’t want to buy this new, it’s so old it’s expensive now. I was really lucky to get everything used, I paid $125 for the complete setup. This link is just for the ballast!


(You can get aftermarket ballasts much cheaper though)
Ya that's no go. Also all the electrical equipment of the tank is bad. I got a power supply lights came on and strong electric smell and the lights went out

I don’t see any up now, but you can sometimes find used hoods on eBay / craigslist for reasonable prices.
