Hood
Preparation
Ensure
everything
is
unplugged.
In
this
portion
of
the
retrofit
we
will
remove
the
hood
from
the
tank,
a
transformer,
the
fluorescent
bulbs
and
ballasts,
the
reflector,
the
LED
strip
sockets
and
some
wiring
among
other
things.
Fastener
Removal
To
begin,
you
must
remove
three
fasteners
from
the
rear
of
the
hood
to
get
it
off
of
the
tank.
We
found
it
easiest
to
insert
a
hex
wrench
into
one
side
of
the
fastener
and
gently
tap
laterally
with
a
hammer
until
it
releases.
The
fasteners
release
easily,
little
power
is
required.
Repeat
this
for
all
three
and
remove
the
hood
from
the
tank.
After
the
hood
is
removed,
unscrew
and
remove
the
plastic
cover
that
protects
the
fluorescent
bulbs
and
then
remove
the
fluorescent
bulbs.
