Hello there
I have a fluval Roma 125 and I would like to LED upgrade the light but I don’t want to remove the tank cover... any ideas?

Assuming you are in the UK -
Arcadia make T5 LED tubes which fit into T5 fluorescent tube holders. http://www.arcadia-aquatic.com/product/led-t5-tubes/ When I got LED tubes a few years ago Arcadia said their LEDs only worked with magnetic ballast so as mine were electronic I couldn't use them. But they are not called the same name now and Arcadia's website doesn't say any more.
If you want these, I would contact Arcadia to ask. This is how to find out if you have a magnetic or electronic ballast http://www.newlighted.com/how-can-i...etic-ballast-or-the-newer-electronic-ballast/

Superfish make retrofit LED tubes for T5 and T8. They come with their own power supply and just have plastic end caps which slot into the fluorescent tube holder to hold them in place. These are the type I have. They come in bright, colour plus or combi (bright is white, colour plus makes everything look reddish orange, combi is new since I got mine so I don't know what the colour is like) https://www.aquatix-2u.co.uk/sfl100-superfish-led-retro-fit-aquarium-lights-[multi-listing].html
The Superfish ones have their own power supply, you don't plug in the built in lighting on the hood. Either remove the wire from the built in lights or just leave the wire there and don't use it
 
Elive makes great modular LED light strips that you can rest on the glass you likely have with your hood. What I most like abt Elive is that you can create just the lighting color combo to best fit your needs. There are many different color light modules you can simply snap into place and bingo, you're set. These are tubeless modules. If you are interested, here is a link to the company.
