I have a P38 that is blinking- this is been the driver in other fixtures, so I assume it's the problem here. Does anyone know how to take these apart? Is it worth it to do so and replace the driver? assuming I can get a driver....

Hey guys, I finally cleaned up an old acrylic aquarium I bought a few years back and never got around to cleaning out. It was apparently used in a restaurant until the guy I bought it from got his hands on it and ran it into the ground in his apt. Apparently with little maintenance. It had an archaic under gravel filter set up which I removed, no bulkheads near the pvc just tons of silicone which I scraped off, and some weird black paint or glue. I must have pulled out 20 pounds of dried cement like detritus from this thing. Anyways, is the first picture crazing? It looks like snowflakes and is unfortunately located in two spots on both sides of the aquarium close to the edges. It's not too pronounced, but this is intended for an in wall setup and I would rather not install something for a build that complicated that isn't perfect. Also, any Idea what this black paint is near the drilled hole in the bottom. It was applied to a piece of pvc as well as attached to the same drilled hole. Again, their were no bulk heads used and the only thing keeping it from leaking was a pound or so of nasty silicone (and perhaps the 20 pounds of packed in detritus). It's a miracle this guys apartment never flooded. Finally, I know the black stuff on the sides is some type of black paint. The genius painted the stand black while the aquarium was on it. Any ideas how to safely remove paint from acrylic? Can I use some type of special paint thinner or should I just try very fine sand paper and then use a novus like polishing product? I plan to polish the entire thing anyways if I decide to do anything with it. Thanks in advance, Ben
