    I rebuilt my hood from 2 IceCap 660s, 2 IceCap MH250s, 8 German T5 end caps and stands and an HQI hood that had bad ballasts. You angle boards from the center out and put the Metal Halides in the center just like you see on a Current, Royal, any combo hood. I put all the ballasts on top away from the fans on either side (because you know it gets HOT in there) and it's the perfect punch to a temperary set-up. I just got my 72 bow so I am waiting for the stand and canopy. I was building the stand and I just don't have the time so I am ordering the stainless and black set from oceanic. BEAUTIFUL!

    I forgot to put "pairs" for German ends but you get the point.
    It all came off my 150 but that shattered trying to put over-flows in it.
    The 55 was a fast fix for a big problem... lol
    But I am still dying to see the 72!!!!!!
