So I have been fish keeping for over 10 years, but have had this tank since about 2013.
It's a 29 gallon tank, 36L, 12.5W, 18H.
It has a custom lid I think, with 2 large cutouts and one smaller cutout. I have an aqueon filter in it, the quiet flow 75-90, my fish do well with it, and I have foam on the bottom of the intake tube.
Anyways the hood for the lighting is from 2008, and has stopped working properly. At first I thought the T8 bulb had died, but after replacing it today, I realize that's not the case.
I used to have a custom piece of glass under the the light, but it broke and I never replaced it. I've had issues with glass cuts being inaccurate in the past.
So it's clear I need to replace the hood, but not sure what to use, a regular tank hood with the ballast or replace the entire lid.
This is not something I've ever had to deal with before so please don't rip my head off.
Thanks.
Ps. Sorry about the photos, I will try to fix them.
