I really need a new top, but I just had the center brace on my 55 gallon tank break, or rot, and was wondering if anyone knew of a fix? I'm currently using a ruler, but feedings can be a pain in the ass!

I went down to local glass shop and gad them cut me a peice of 1/4 inch glass and siliconed it it place with tank drained down about half way. Cost of glass brace was under 6 dollars. Note silicone will not stick to plexy glass.

I have a 40 gallon planted tank and I use the 406. It works great...however, you have to be careful that you do not break the priming handle...mine came broken but I just fill the canister before I plug it back in...and the impeller cover wears out and gets loose and then you have this clacking noise which can only be fixed by replacing the impeller cover. The old models had clips on both sides to hold it down but this model has only one clip and after awhile it gets loose. I have a few extra covers just in case. They are not that expensive.

I sent it back, it didn't work well at all! I tried for several days to adjust the high and low temperature settings, but when then heater was on it wouldn't shut off and it would overshoot and when it was off, it wouldn't turn back on. I had it in a 10 gallon tank. UL....??

What size tank do you have and if it no brace or rim around the tank then this may not work it have to sit on the rim or brace

I used a standard 55 gallon drum. I am on my second year of used and have had several cooks with bottom barrel well stoked. The high temp paint on lower halve is now in need of repainting. Top is all well.Even pushing high temp at times. Bottom holding up as far as now. May need replacement in yr or two. Hope this helps.

Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they? I found a company that sells the replacement but I needed expert help to identify the exact component. He decided not to help once he figured out I'm not really using it to grow coral in salt water aquarium. If I were to buy LED again I'd spend more money upfront on a more reliable unit. Try googling any identifier on the panel, that might take you to a page of specs. If you can read them google the specs on the transformer and look for a retailer. Good luck. I just went back to HPS because we are flowering and we couldn't keep dicking around. Maybe. They sure blow out easy, don't they?

The same thing happened to mine. The plastic on this feeder gets very brittle after a short time of usage. Let me know if you get a response about the replacement parts.

Sorry to hear others are having problems also. Metal tracks would be an option. Otherwise a complete refund would be in order as this was not an inexpensive tank. Thank you.

Sounds like a common problem. You will have to measure the original tank and and be aware of the filler cap as to where it is located. Also take note of the screw locations for securing the tank in place. on this tank there are 4 screw locations. 2 on either narrow sides. Hopes this helps.

does your 75 gallon tan have a center brace in the middle of it. The glass canopy that I have for my f75 gal is 18x48 and I'm has a center brace. The canopy should fit 70, 75,90,110 gallon aquarium. If it doesn't fit you can return it. I got my canopy from That Pet Place.com

For anyone else looking at this hood for Petco's 40G breeder tank, it's just about 1/8" too wide. I'm debating whether to return it or see if I can somehow shave down the ends. It also arrived with the glass cracked, but since this is for hermit crabs, I would be removing the glass to use with a UVB bulb anyway.

I have this platform on our 60 gallon tank with two turtles, a little bigger than yours. The ramp goes down into the water in the center, which makes them unable to escape by going off the ramp sideways and out over the top. The top has a metal secure wire door, and even if your turtle was strong, you could zip tie or wire tie it closed, although mine have never been able to stand on hind legs to investigate this! :) I will try to post some pictures of it at different angles for you
