In about a month, I'll be getting a Aquapod 12 (its going to be a reef)It has 4 chambers in the back; these chambers hold 4 gallons total (it really holds 16 gallons). This leaves it wide open to mods. When you buy it, it comes with bioballs, a sponge(foam block), caramic media, and a 160gph 35w pump (Alot of watts for a small pump!). So for i'm planning on :

Not using the bioballs, cramic, or the foam block.
I'll change the pump to a maxi jet 900 (235 gph)
Run some live rock in one of the chambers.
Use some carbon and phosban
Block off the bottom two intakes just to force water to go through the skimmer.
Cut off the bars blocking the fan outlets.
Install a computer fan some how. (summers a'coming)


I'll leave the lighting for another day. But when i do upgrade it, It will be to 2x32w or 2x40w pc lights. The "stock" lighting is 2x27w pc bulbs.


In closing, has anyone ever moded an Aquapod before?
thanks
