Biocube t5 light cover

[nightmarepl]

hey guys i got myself a biocube with t5 lights built in and the plastic cover is like super scratched up anyway to fix it like polish it out or something feel like the light won’t get through enough

That hazing may have been from the light itself. Can you get some new plexi glass from HD and just screw it in?

nah somone who i got the tank off of used a brush to clean it and scratched it up the butt ; /

You can try and buff it with a “headlight cleaning kit” wouldn’t think it’s that much different, otherwise coralife sells replacement

yah u guys are probably right not worth the work i mean ill just suck it up for a month or so gotta cycle the tank than ill use my AI prime HD on it

Are you going to use a mounting arm for the AI prime? If yes, why not use netting and window frame kit to make a lid?

well currently i took the frame off to make it rimless but not sure how much i like it might just put the frame back on and yes im doing a mounting arm will most likely do a frame kit that just sits on the border yes?

 

[diana a]

yes, on the border

 

[nightmarepl]

yes, on the border

yah i took my border off but it came off really nicely, used braided fishing line to basically remove it i can always reinstall, probably right ill just build a screen cover make it look clean hopefully

yah i used a thin long knife from both sides of the left side to cut the silicone, than used a small hand saw to cut the border used a braided fishing line 50lb test to just get under the rim and rip through the silicone came off in under 10 minutes of works all in one piece i can always reattach it and silicone it back on no big deal going to get some clips and make a screen cover for the future jumpers haha

Keep an eye on the glass the tank is designed with the rim for strength and support. The glass on rimless tanks is thicker to make up for there being no rim.

i mean ive seen people online do it alot of times, as long as you dont pull on the front i doubt itll cause any issues specially since its all one piece if i see any issues ill inform yall watched a bunch of youtubes on it seems to be okay
