Fans and adapter are from Princess Auto. Cut the ends of the fans for positive and negative. Cut the end of the adapter. Stripped all the wires. Twisted them all together and heat shrunk them. Heres pictures of what the adapter and fans have written on them.....



Not the clearest pics but hopefully you can get the jist of the info.

Canopy all finished! Filled, sanded, and painted. Now to run the new light full time. Getting the first corals in tomorrow. Still deciding on the stock as in fish and inverts.

Yeah it's cool how you can see it when your walking to the kitchen or when your sitting on the couch... at least from what I can tell. How do you feed and such??? Is the hood hinged or do you have to take it right off or is there a some kinda mini door??
