BUYER BEWARE
Bought one for a 10 gal Tetra aquarium. Naturally fit perfectly. Easy to set up, Very good illumination. Used for about a month now. No problems as of yet. Has off/on switch. Pleased with purchase.UPDATE: BOUGHT THIS IN 11/14. NOW IN LATE APRIL, TWO OF THE THREE LED GROUPS ARE OUT. THE SECOND OF THE THREE LED GROUP HAS MOISTURE IN IT AND LIKELY THAT IS WHAT KNOCKED OUT THE SECOND AND THIRD LED GROUPS (EACH GROUP HAS THREE LIGHTS). THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT LIGHTS AVAILABLE. VERY BAD POLICY OF THE MANUFACTURER. IF YOU BUY THIS HOOD BE SURE TO SEAL WITH SILICON WHERE WIRES GO TO INTO LIGHT GROUP. FACTORY WATERPROOFING IS INADEQUATE. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH QUALITY OF PRODUCT NOR WITH LACK OF REPLACEMENT LIGHTS. MIGHT DO YOU GOOD TO CHOOSE ANOTHER BRAND. NEW RATING TWO STARS.

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!

Fits nice.
Not as sturdy as I thought it would be for the price. Will wait and see how well it works.

It fits, it works, but it's not very durable
I have two aquariums, a 29 gallon and a 55 gallon (which requires 2 light/lids). I have been through a combined 11 lids, none of them lasted a year. They fit perfectly because they are a proprietary size, so they are the ONLY lids that will fit properly. They start to gradually degrade at about 4 months. the light pods will slowly fail until they are all dead. It is barely worth it to keep buying new lights rather than a new 55-gallon aquarium of a different brand. I would not recommend this brand and this product, but if you have this brand, you're trapped.

Life saver
This lid is 100000% worth it! It makes maintaining your fish tank SO much easier!I personally did not install the included lights as I had my own lights, but it seems like the included lights would be just as easy to install.The lid is durable, it holds the weight of my large cat whenever he decides to jump on top of my tank.The lid itself was a bit confusing to install, but it was worth the hassle. Make sure you double read the instructions so you don’t end up frustrated like I did.It fits perfectly and it functions as advertised. If you’re thinking about buying this, just do it. Your sanity will thank you!!

I mean, it's a fish tank lid.
Fit my 20 Long perfectly. Was out of stock whenever I placed my order but these style lids are uncommon in my area so I was willing to wait. I was afraid it might not come back into stock, but it did, and it didn't even take very long. Two weeks to a month maybe?The only thing I would say you should know about this tank lid is that the lights that come with it by default are very bright white lights. If that's what you're looking for, then great, you're all set. But personally that didn't work for the deep sea theme I wanted, so I just got some cheap color light bars of my own to attach to it and give it that nice deep blue color.Overall, it's exactly what you'd expect. A bit pricey and hard to get ahold of, but if you've got the time to wait, even if this lid is listed on Amazon as out of stock, go ahead and put your order in. It didn't take long for one to get to me.

LED lights are great, but life of bulbs are disappointing.
I guess the title says it all. I bought this back in October 2020 for our 10 gallon aquariums. My wife and I enjoyed the brightness of the LED lights. I was not impressed with the design of the system though. Basicially, you have a string of small LED lights strung out on the wire that have to be individually attached to the hood. There is no protection of the system from water that might be splashed - no guard. Attaching the lights to the hood is a simple, if sometimes frustrating process.The hood is rather thin and feels flimsy; the opening in back for filter and heater is small. I actually had to widen it to fit our 10-20 gallon (the size of the tank this cover is supposed to be designed for) power filter. But once that's done, no problem - until the LED lights (the reason we bought this lid) went out.Now, we ordered the hood(s) (we bought two of them) in October, as I recall we didn't receive them until November when we set them up. So they lasted seven months. If we burned them constantly I'd say, "Okay," but we rarely turn the lights on as the room our tanks are in are well lit and rarely really needed during the day.So, needless to say I am disappointed.
