Everything seems to be working except for the second LEDs but I guess those just clip in and they're fairly cheap do they come in different colors first and foremost he appear to use this as a freshwater tank and I plan on building a high-tech freshwater planted tank how do I clean it it came with Magnetic Aqua scrubber and a heater I assume that's useless on a tank do on a tank that's big) should I replace the T5 bulbs right away ( if so can you recommend some) and the filtration media and it's very heavy dry and considering water is about 6 to 7 lb of gallon I got this about 350 when you had the rocks and stuff maybe 400 pounds. Also the fourth water resistant buttons PC2 on the top of the panel doesn't feel like it has a toggle switch underneath it I don't know if that's for something you add later or what perhaps a toggle switch just felt I can remount it if necessary any advice help would be greatly appreciated I'm used to doing salt water/sumps
... thank you very much Steve

By the way he knew nothing about aquariums reefing fish tanks more like fish bowls seriously because he used it for his daughter's goldfish Overkill perhaps, lol
 
Mine came with all the toggles , one lights front power compact ( pc )
And the second lights the rear
 
I may have all the toggles think the switch might have just been pushed in I got to take off the plexiglass Shield to see I'm sure it's there just probably needs to be pushed back in so
 
I'm afraid to use something powerful like Goof Off to get off the remaining is he Civ from the duct tape because I don't want to screw up the acrylic or the plastic that stuff is anything but gentle it's harsh I'm a construction worker we like remove metal with that stuff that being said I really don't like strips of resin and adhesive on my brand new tank what brand new to me anyway
 
I think someone screwed with the wiring number one the second set of LEDs are slightly smaller than the top it looks like he jammed the top LED and just to work to show me all the LEDs work but just the bulbs weren't compatible and as far as that fourth toggle switch for the second set of LEDs it's nowhere to be found but I see some why or not so I'm not sure what's going on

Screw it I'm losing the top going with an open-top design with the satellite LED maybe pendant or something I'll have to do some research it seems worth investing the tank alone is worth 60 bucks
 
if so $50, comes with old Compact and one LED strip however they all work, The 2nd LED button is missing however the water shielding is still there, LMK Steve 781 535 8231
