I cut the original reflector to fit behind all the lights and expose the fans for better flow.

Excellent work bwolf! karma to you~

Hi Wolf - curious if you could tell me if you popped the entire back door off of the BC29 or if you modified it to fit over the flow tubes of your refugium? If you modified it, do you have any photos?

Also, what type of refugium is that? Something you built or did you order it?

I have a BC29 and am always looking for new mods. LOL

Thanks in advance

I used 2 different sized hole saws to cut holes in the back of the hood and a dremmel to make the straight edge to fit over the flow tubes. The refugium is the smallest of the CPR fuges. I got it on sale from one of the web suppliers. I got swaped out the pump with something a bit smaller with a lower flow. It all fits together perfectly. You can see the cuts I made in this picture...

Way Cool Wolf, thanks for the info. Down the line, I think I may have to give this a try. I'm working on my new canopy right now for the 4.36 upgrade of lights from nanotuners right now. After that's finished, this may be the next mod I have to do to the BC29.

Thanks again, you ROCK!!!!
