Default Re: 24 gallon AquaPod build

Here is a lighting update

The stock hood



The bulb size comparison





Stock end caps removed



Reflector removed to show ballasts & ONE fan, yes I got ripped...some have 2 FANS



Stealth fans & another ballast added...good thing is there were already mounting holes for the additional ballast



Bulbs with plastic shield replaced





The bulbs need modded slightly to fit inside the existing area.
There are small 1/8" plastic pieces on each side of the bulb that needs sanded off.
This gains you 3/4", then there held into place with PC clips.

Simple & cheap DIY light mod...
