I recently purchased a used 55 gallon. The hood and lights it came with weren't in very good condition. So I went out and bought 2-24 Aqueon Hood and Light. There is a small space (1/4 inch to 1/2 inch) between the 2 hoods, and they are a little wider then my tank. So I have the back of the hoods proped up on the top of the tank and the front is sitting where it need to. I want to know if this is ok, or if I need to get better fitting hoods?? I looked into to getting 2-24 inch glass cover and getting 1-48 inch Fluorescent light fixture or a LED light fixture. I am worried about the evaporation. I don't mind how the 2 Aqueon hood and lights look, because you can't really see that the back is proped up a little. Just want to make sure it is doing what it is suppose to, and the space between the 2 hoods isn't an issue??????
Would like some feed back on my options and what everyone thinks I should or could do???
