Review on 🐠 Low Profile Tetra LED Aquarium Hood - Energy Efficient Lighting System for Fish Tanks by Quinton Wonsley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better than I expected

I have a Penn Plax 1200 filter on my 55 gallon tank. This aquarium has a significant bioload with a RES turtle, 7 giant danio fish and 2 plecos (ugh). However, this is not a filter test, but a lens hood / light test! Since I have a heating dock above the tank for my RES, I only need this hood for one side. It's perfect for half of my 55 gallon (bought 24x12)! No spaces, no problems. Assembly was very easy (you have to snap the LED lights into place, cut/bend any rear hole you want and attach hooks to it and the tank, but that's about it). The rear hooks were an added bonus. There were 8 hooks in the kit but I only needed 2. There were 4 hooks of each size so I'm guessing it was a set of hooks (2) for whatever size tank you have plus a spare set. I also love that you can adjust the back opening for the filter components as I keep the water level pretty high and my turtle just loves to crawl out of the tank. The two filter components went through half the possible opening with no problem, while the heater and light cord went through the designated hole for the light cord with ease. Very happy with this hood. It's nice and roomy, has a small and efficient feeding port, and works great. hope it lasts I would like you to purchase the LED string light that came with the kit so I can attach it to the bottom of my DIY dock on the other side, but oh well. Great product, very satisfied!

Pros
  • SIZE RANGE: Tetra LED domes are available in multiple sizes to fit most rectangular aquariums.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
