    Does anyone know how I take this thing apart? I want to remove the optics but I don't want to screw it up. Maybe some pics?

    This is how my 16" controllable reefbreeders came apart: Unscrew all screws around the case. Then gently lift and pivot the top towards the control panel. Have a book or something to rest it on as the wires are short. Mark all wires from the heatsink to the drivers so u don't forget what goes where. Dont remove any of the connections to the control panel. Use a pair of needle nose pliers to help wiggle the connectors apart. The just unscrew the heatsink from the bottom of the case and gently lift out of case.

    I arranged my optics for 90 degree around the edges and 120 in the center. Good luck!

    I just did it last night. Unhook the led wires from the quick connects, unscrew the screws on the pcb/heatsink, and flip over. Very easy.
