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.

I’ve seen mods where people take the hood off, but the top strip of plastic is important to the tank integrity. I like the hood, keeps the dog hairs out lol

I'm sorry that's what I meant. Topless. What's the light you use

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.

Lemme see what I can dig up. I would probably opt to keep the hood because of the chemicals though.

It’s also great to not have to ever worry about finding a fish on the floor!

That's my thoughts.

A screen would stop that. I like the hood to help with chemical exposure.

I have the LED panel from Andrew's Biocube. You can buy a replacement splash guard too.

 

[Katrina71]

Can you tell me the size where the LEDs were?

If it doesn’t fit, he will make it fit!! Is it the wireless one?

I'm not sure it was an led

Ok. You could send JBJ a pic to verify what model.

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

 

[Magellan]

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

 

[sfin52]

does that mean hood is a no go

For the little LEDs in the corners?

Yep the hood latch is also missing
