    I just got in my ecoxotic panaroma module, but hell I cant find a place to install it. I saw some other set up, and they have it on the feeding front hood of biocube 29. Now I dont have a drill and planning on going to home depot, do you think they are gonna charge to just drill 2 holes in the hood?
    Do they even do it? lol

    I'm sure they would do it for free. But make sure you find someone competent to do it for you. YOU do the measuring, and then tell him what they are. I have a sheet of acrylic cut at Lowes for my sump, and first a 1 handed guy came to help me (ironic that a 1 handed man would be let near blades...but that's not for me to decide), and he mis cut each piece I wanted by 1/8". Now 1/8" is a lot to make up with silicone. Turned into a whole hassle...so just watch him/her.

    Personally I don't like that set up. If you don't plan on using the compacts anymore, gut the hood and attach them under the plastic shield. Or just fix them somehow inside the shield, they are centered that way.

    I would love to replace them as compact, but I need minimum 2, 3 required to support the corals for my biocube 29 gallon tank. Unfortunatly what I got is just full 543nm actanic light and that alone wont be able to support the corals unfortunatly, Im planning on taking out the PC bulb once I order 2 more panaroma led near future when I save up money, this will be my temporary placement untill I have enough panaroma LED to replace my PC lights.
