I finally tore down my 12 gallon nanocube, anyone that wants it can have it, otherwise it's prolly just going in the garbage. the ballast is burnt out, there's a brand new light bulb in it, and the pump and fans are done as well. I thought when the bulb went it was just blown but soon after buying a brand new bulb and installing it, it didn't work and a few days later, the pump went too. this isn't the deluxe model, it's the original. I didn't want to invest in buying a new hood as I was already in the works of upgrading which I finally have.
