Starting a quick project at midnight turned into a 4 hour endeavour ..... Gonna be hurtin tomorrow I mean today. Anyways hooked up a Reefkeeper light to the tank I had layin around. Still need another power bar. But that went smoothly enough. Issues started when I decided to replace the halide bulb In the fixture and clean the fan out.. The fan was a Goner so in my infinite wisdom at 1 am I cut it out and threw in a new one.
The new one wouldn't start try another still nothing tinkered for 40 min to realize the old fan was 6volt and the new ones are 12 volt. So after some fancy redneck wireing the halide should not overheat. But I did contemplate throwing the radion on and be done with it but regretfully I have to do some reworking of the hood to mount it.
Will take pics of the mess this tank is in so we can add me to the hall of shame lol
