how do you replace the lights for the Aquapod?

prestage3ek · 01/31/2009, 09:49 PM

I have a 12G Aquapod. I bought a new bulb to replace the dual daylight bulb that comes stock with the hood. I cant for the life of me figure out how to take the bulb out. I have searched current-usa.com and here on reefcentral but nobody has ever posted anything like this. Can somebody please help me before I break something. Thanks

i have a 24 but would assume they are the same.

there is a plastic shield over the lights attached by screws. take the screws out, take the cover off. the gently pull the bulb out straight of it's socket. then gently rotate to remove from the clips. do reverse for install.

Pull up on the end of the bulb. Pull it out of the metal clip and then rotate it upwards out of the grey bracket.
