Trigon 190 Light Unit And Hood Flaps

[KatDis84]

Does anyone have an older trigon 190?
Recently got a steal of a deal on a 2nd hand tank For £100. The unit had been glossed black all over so a flat knife, elbow grease And some 10 hours later the cabinet is back to original beech. The aquarium itself is still painted black. The lid had been custom fitted on the back flap with a normal light as the central bar light unit was bashed the light portions removed and wires cut. This immediately went in the bin (poss big mistake) as it was seemingly replaceable. Having ordered a new t5 unit awaiting delivery tomorrow I was at my lfs who had some units in- the sides o which are straight. Then I looked at a new trigon and it has two triangular attached pieces at each corner which my tank does not have (when my lids are off we have a complete bow fronted triangle)

Is my unit really an old trigon or am I destined to have two holes in the roof of my tank???
Any one else hadthus problem?

Thanks guys

My light unit has arrived and it doesn't fit! Dies anyone know what tank my tank could be? It's not a jewel trigon 190 as it does not fit! It is bow fronted and each back edge is 67cm. Help please!!!

My iPod won't transfer the photo unfortunately. There are no makers markings on the unit, which is the same colour and style as a beech trigon 190, however the base looks more like a ferplast 90 corner also in beech. It is almost the same dimensions (within 1cm) than the ferplast but smaller than the jewel by 3-4cm. If I cannot source the correct light could you suggest any discrete lighting solutions for a lidless bow-fronted tank?
