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.

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.

Nice Top
Fits my 10 gallons just fine. Has hinges, so the top can be held open. Very nice top.

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.

Cheaper in price, not in quality
Great , flat top , perfect lighting

EXCELLENT product, zero complaints!
An absolutely perfect product. Fit is perfect, looks great! The hinges clip on to the frame and allow you to lift them to clean etc. I like the way the lights mount on a 45° angle along the front lip. I used two kits on our 55 gallon tank.

Cheap design for the price but works
From the photos I expected a more sturdy lid. It arrived flimsy and feels like thin plastic. It’s easy to use and will keep the cat out and the fish in. The design makes it easy for anyone needing cut outs for filters and such. Instructions weren’t the best on how to install the lights, so ended up using electric tape to hold them in place. It fit well on my 20 gallon long tank. Don’t feel it’s worth the $70 maybe $30-40.

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.
