Well... still have the desire to change things...

Took a stock RSM 130d hood and gutted the light components...

Inserted 120 watts of LEDs from one of the Waves in Glass fixtures and the power supplies... And you get one heck of a upgrade to the hood of the RSM... one of the best AIO systems in my opinion (must be why I have three)

Well here is result

Full lighting

Added switch so white can be shut off
Actinics ( Those that have seen this know how it makes all the zoas POP!!)

Hood up... No external changes at all exept one switch in the light timer compartment... Very clean looking

Hey Larry,
Did you just remove the components from the LED housing and swap into the hood?
Great idea!!!

Could you talk more about the ATO system? Is that RSM specific?

No ATO in RSM.. It has Skimmer, heater compartment, media area stock... but evaporation is a LOT less than other AIOs that I have had.

That is pretty much what I did. Had to cut down heatsink to fit, made a few modified bracket that allow to go back to stock (wont happen), used RSM timer, fans circuit and moonlights.
