Just a general comment after finally replacing my stock plastic hood on my 20gallon high tank. Much nicer, and definately seals in the moisture MUCH better. I have a HOB filter so had to cut the plastic portion off the back so that it would fit properly but other than that, its excellent.
Only possible concern will be increased algae from the light that will now be able to get in the tank from the top. Shouldn't be much of a problem but if it is I'll probably get some mylar and tape it to the outside to prevent light from getting in, and escaping.
I'd like to think it might help keep my CO2 levels up, but since I have the gap at the back for the HOB I'm not counting on it...
Was $18 after tax from my local PetSmart. Pretty funny I buy 90% of my fish stuff from them (unless I have a big enough order to use Big Al's), but have never bought a fish from them!
