Can the Aquapod 12g top be removed?

[boobookitty]

I can get a good deal on an Aquapod 12g, but it's the one with the hood. I plan to remove the hood and install a HOT MH fixture, but I've now heard a couple stories regarding removing the hood of an Aquapod. Is it difficult, or does it just lift off?

Need to know before I move on getting the tank...any help would be appreciated...

If you are just going to remove the top i would look in to a different set up. I mean you can get spare tanks from nanotuners very cheap.
as to your question the removal of the hood goes either way. i tried for several days and could not get mine off while others have just popped them rite off.
But as i said if you are just going to remove the hood then whats the purpose of getting an enitre all in one.

I agree. Unless the thing is damn near free, the whole point of the all-in-one tanks is their sleek appearance.

I took the top off of mine to accomidate my custon lighting and fans, but like was mentioned above, I got mine for free.

Hmm...I want the 12g, with the chambers that come with the Aquapod. It's not free (sadly ), but I can't get the aquapod with no top using this deal, so I was wondering if the top on this one can be popped. I'm still coming up to speed on nano equipment...

If you have no intentions of keeping the lid then just dremel the hinge.

I just removed mine to make some special mods. Lift the canopy 45 degrees from the closed-level position. Then try to tilt the hinged rear up while tugging towards you.

crowbar works quicker than a dremel tool.

i think it varies per revision. they have like 3 different models out.

But if you could put your back on and make a video you would answer many peoples threads.
