Perfect fit and bright lighting!
This hood was easy to install and it fit my 30-inch tank perfectly and instantly upgraded the look of my aquarium. The hidden LEDs give off just the right amount of light…bright but not harsh. Itâs low-profile and sleek, and I love how easy it is to open for feeding or maintenance. Works perfect! Great value for the price!

Just right for my 10 gallon
Bought it for a ten gallon tank. It was easy to assemble. I love the fact there are hinges on the lid that make it easy to get into the tank. The lid fits perfectly. The cut out parts in the back are the right size as well. I have the hoses/cords in the small one and I have a pothos plant in the other one. It would be the size for a HOB filter but I have a sponge filter. I did not use the lights that came with the lid. I had another LED strip I wanted to use and it was easy to attach it to the lid. I had purchased this brand before for a larger tank years ago and also had liked it.

My fish are happy!ðð
This hood is a good value. It was easy to put together. The lights are great for my 10 gallon tank. I think the lid looks great on my tank. I like the fact that when I clean my tank I can see into the tank so much easier.I also like the opening to feed my fish, it doesnât get clogged with old fish food.The lid is lite but seems durable.I like that it lifts straight up , although it doesnât stay up on its own so when I had to put water in the tank someone had to hold it open for me.I would recommend this lid, my fish are happy.

Good but too strong for red eye tetras in a 20 Gallon aquarium
This is a great product. My plants love it. However our red eye tetras hide away when the lights are on – we don’t see them all day long. Only when we switch the lights off, they come out. Cory cats also hide from this light but less, they are too busy sniffing around to be bothered by any light for too long. They tolerate it better. Black Mollies were absolutely OK with this light. Depends on your fish. It could be nice to have a dimmer, but otherwise, nice hood.Edit: we have this hood for over two years now. Some of LEDs don’t work well any longer, probably due to a corrosion by water vapors. The photo of decaying LEDs on our hood are attached. The disabled LEDs created sort of a gradient light effect, which I actually like, and my fish enjoys, but my plants in the darker part don’t. So we asked if the manufacturer had a replacement for the LEDs, for which they answered that “No, but the customers could buy other LED lights of their choice on the market”. Indeed there are many LEDs on the market, but I bought this product because I liked these LEDs. Instead of seeing a business opportunity in purchase of consumables, the manufacturer sends their customers to look somewhere else. Weird. I wish there was a replacement for these specific LEDs!

Cheap quality compared to the tank
As other reviewer have said, it does fit my tetra tank perfectly size wise, so it felt like my only choice from the same manufacturer as the tank.The material of the hood is very cheaply built. It’s flimsy, and the tank cover was already warped so it doesn’t sit flat on the tank. I was disappointed that the hood costs half again as much as the tank — I would have been okay with this if the material quality matched my expectations, or maybe okay if the hood was priced about half what it is here. While the tank seems like it has good quality materials, this hood feels like very cheap, thin materials, so as a consumer I get the feeling like maybe Tetra was using a pricing strategy rather than trying to give me the best quality.The cutouts only have a few choices, so in order to get the filter in the right spat, I had to cut out the larger cutout than I wanted, then I taped part of it back on to increase the coverage, which means you can see tape on my tank hood — not a good look.I also found the wire length to the light switch seems very short. My only option is for the light switch to be behind the tank, which is far from convenient and requires me bending down and under the table to switch it on or off. This also felt cheap to me, especially considering that the rest of the power cable is much longer.I plan to eventually buy another hood from another manufacturer instead.

Good fit and great extras included.
Lid worked great. Actually returned one from local pet store. I wasnât sure how this lid was gonna work/fit but ended up being super easy. Lid had multiple fit attachments, cut outs for things like filters/heaters, and clips for different types of tank tops. And, the attachment to make the lid on hinges is perfect, our smaller tank didnât have that and I was always knocking the lid over when cleaning the tank. The light provided was really bright, ended up using our old ones.

Cheap
Packaged poorly, small pieces were moving all over inside the box. The lid has small bits of plastic shavings that I had to rinse off before installing it. Also as others have said it is flimsy and cheap. But for the moment it’s getting the job done.

I have a 10 gallon tank and this fit in the old fashioned frame from the old lid perfectly. The lights were a bit tricky but if you star from the end closest to where the plug goes it goes rather nicely. Lights are a tight fit so I’m not worried about them falling into the tank. The lights look great in the tank and really bring out the background I purchased.

I bought this hood for an open-top aquarium, and I couldnât be happier. It not only improves the look of my aquarium but also solves two major problems: lighting and keeping curious cats away.Pros:Built-in LED lights provide a nice daylight effect that makes fish colors popLightweight and easy to lift for feeding or cleaningPrevents cats from getting into the tank.Feeding hole is perfectly sized for an automatic fish feederCons:Because itâs lightweight, it may shift if bumped (I used a bit of tape to secure it, works perfectly)Not dimmable, so lighting is either on or off.
