Aquapod 24 canopy style heat issues


Anyone notice their aquapod over heating? The protective shield literally warped and then cracked! I am planning to ditch the hood completely and get the sunpod hqi fixture. I did call current but they said they havn't had that problem before. Maybe this is a one time thing, just looking to see or at least warn that it could happen. The tank is year and half old so it's out of warranty, but seems to soon for this to happen.

Does this hood have fans in it? Have they failed?

After that long your fans must have failed, or slowed down. Did you ever notice them making more noise than usual? They dont normally even last a year, let alone a year and a half.

The fan has always been noisy probably never worked right. I have been wanting the sunpod so this is as good a time as any.
