reef finatic Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 My 29 Oceanic QT tank has a busted moisture guard for the CF's. After an hour of unsuccessfully drilling out rusty screws and removing broken off plastic flanges, I've had it. I've taken the hood and the CF's off for good. Now I am wondering where I go next. What are my best options for an LED on this tank? My thoughts are to permanently remove the hood and put an LED strip overhead, however, I have seen a few retrokits for sale on Amazon.

Reefer82 Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'd ditch the hood and go low cost black box. Sbreef basic 16 would be a good fit I'd think and keep investment minimal. You'd probably be able to sit it right in the rim as well so much less work being it's just QT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budman Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I agree with a black box light over it. I have seen a few with them even retrofitting the light in the hood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waldend Posted December 26, 2016 Report Share Posted December 26, 2016 I have a oceanic hood and a nanoturners 54w LED retrofit kit for it if you would be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef finatic Posted December 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2016 SB Reef standard 16 looks good for the job. I'm curious how it was seated in the hood. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
