Transform Eclipse Hood to more light


Ok i know i haven't posted a DIY in a long long long time. I have been busy with school and work to do any. I recently changed my 15 wat light fixture on my nano tank to a 72 watt PC light setup. I will post pics of the wires on top once i get more wire to extend them to make them look nice

I plan to install a case fan for cooling soon. I will post some pics of that also when that is done. Then i will rewire the setup so you can see the wires then turn the holes i cut for wires into vent holes.

Thanks, Once i get some more time after May 3rd i will try to do a write up with detail step by step thing. I like to write them but when i start it i end up getting side tracked with school work.

Plus i want to get the wires done right add the fan for cooling.
