New hoods with decent lights. Yea

I've seen those somewhere...interesting idea...but I was wondering if it's better to get all the component parts separate rather than combined?

And did you see the prices? Ouch!

Ya that price is nuts. You could buy a 75g tank with everything for some of those prices.

uhhhh, for 300$ less i'll let my bio-wheel hang on the back

[Chrona]

lol, cool idea, but those prices are nuts. Plus biowheels + plants should be avoided

It's not for me, either, as I like the glass tops but this is two filters, the hood and upgraded lights.

All a matter of taste I suppose, but I've never liked the traditional plastic canopies. I much rather like glass tops and a good quality lighting system somewhat elevated off the tank. Also, I find one is too limited with filters already built in.

These are quite popular in the marine trade. Most people who I know that have them just remove the filtration part and keep the lights

Why not just get a T-5 fixture for half the cost then? lol.
