My sons bought a used Oceanic Biocube 29 for me and am starting to set it up. The previous owner did a LED upgrade and it looks like he disconnected the moon glow lights and did a retrofit of some sort with the fans. I would like to restore the light hood as much to factory as I possibly can. Does anybody have a wiring diagram or pictures of an unaltered hood wiring? I'm a little afraid to turn on the lights until I'm sure it is working condition. Help!!!
 
can you send a pic of what you have maybe we can walk you through how t fix it
 
Here are several pictures of what I found. The first picture shows the circuit board with 3 sockets with nothing plugged in. The fans are plugged into the loose block shown in center bottom w/4 jumpers. The blue for the transformer to the left is unplugged.
Second picture shows yellow with ring terminal that was tucked under the reflector.
The third shows the rig for the fans that won't run when plugged in. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like it was modded for a controller or the original board is fried. The first plug goes blue the two entire are the two with jumpers. The yellow is ground. I would bet the plug you have only runs the LEDs and it needs a regular plug 110v that connects to the transformer
 
Is there a do plug in on the hood ? Or a place just for a plug to come out
