What do you plan on keeping, and do you have a pic of the hood?

What do you have now?

Fish only you can pretty much go with anything that will fit the lighting opening. If heat is of import, consider an led fixture. They are not bad cost wise if you are not doing a reef system. What's the opening size where your current fixture resides?

You would likely be fine with whatever gives you the look you desire. I'm a fan of led lights due to the life of bulbs, low heat output, and lower power consumption

Surprised Brookster hasnt mentioned Pittbully's DIY cfl hood conversion ...you could put 6500k bulbs in there for more of a daylight look, or colored bulbs if your fish like to party...
