i think i should of waiting for the canopy to arrive before i congratulated the company. my brand new replacement canopy arrived yesterday via UPS. i was so excited i opened up the cardboard box which looked perfectly fine from the outside. there was my brand new 29 gallon bio cube hood, even had it in a black protective fabric sleeve.

WELL, IT DIDNT PROTECT IT ENOUGH!!!! i pulled it out...immediately could see scratches on the top...ok, i could live with that, it was free...but then i notice the back of it at the access door is completely cracked in half. by now i am already depressed enough, but i flip it over and both bulbs are completely free from their sockets just sliding around inside the plastic protective light cover and 1 of the light sockets is broken free from the canopy and the other was cracked.

where did they ship it from...beirut?????? i immediately took pics of it, and emailed the company. we'll see what happens. it took me a lil while but with some crazy glue and some various other tools..i was able to put it back together and use it temporarily. at least i have some nice actinic light going...the moonlights are better in this canopy than my original, seem to provide a wider span of light on my various mushrooms, ricordia, and yellow polyps.
