Well, as luck would have it, I am going to be in the market for a new hood as well. Mine has cracked from the extra heat. I think I can make do in the meantime. Yeah, I want to have a really nice coral growing machine by the end of it, but it has to maintain stock appearance to appease the wife. I think I am just going to go with all new panoramas, so that they are all dimmable, new power source, the whole bit. Still going to have to do one at a time because of the cost.
