MarineLand 17878 First Impressions

"But like I said."

I almost thought they shipped me the wrong item haha. Shipping was a little slow but hey it's free and it came intact! The plastic pieces to break out for the filter and such are perfect for my needs. They provide extra handles just in case which is nice. We got an old reptile tank that someone was using as a fishtank. Two peel and stick plastic lift pulls are provided. It doesn't have a recessed area to help avoid movement.

MarineLand 17878 Final Thoughts

"It fits any 75 gallon."

Just buy the correct ones and you'll be fine. The lid is not heavy and the plastic is thin, but still does what it needs to do. I'm hopeful that I can trim the glass down with some emery cloth. Even at petco that sold me the tank. Unfortunately, the price seems a little. People complaining about fit probably didn't pat attention to the description. FACTORY WATERPROOFING IS INADEQUATE.

2. H2Pro 16″ Glass Canopy 5.5 Gallon Aquarium Fish Tank (15.28 x 7.56 x 0.16in)

H2Pro 16GT First Impressions

"It was quite junk."

When I first picked up the package, it was really light. It was a hair too narrow across and way too deep. Overall everything came intact and its working so I'm satisfied. Aqueon has different measurements from Marineland tanks. Mine slid right on with no problem so that might be an issue that they have fixed. Aside from these complaints I am very happy so I give it 4 stars. Aquariums are less standard than you might think.

H2Pro 16GT Final Thoughts

"I love it!"

I previously had a tank hood that took the long florescent bulbs. That tank hood went bad after only a year. MIGHT DO YOU GOOD TO CHOOSE ANOTHER BRAND. I think a tank could have rolled over the box and the glass wouldn't have cracked! Perfect fit for older aquarium's with thicker center piece and sides. You have to assemble the LED lights to the hood yourself. I think a tank could have rolled over the box and the glass wouldn't have cracked!

"NEW RATING TWO STARS."

I am quite happy with the product otherwise. I absolutly love the product and the people. I bought this for my 55 gallon tank that has no divider, thinking it would work. I figured, it's perfect, it has to fit. NOW IN LATE APRIL, TWO OF THE THREE LED GROUPS ARE OUT. I went through many reviews before buying this lid. Words cannot explain how much I adore this!

"Naturally fit perfectly."

The knockouts aren't to difficult, I used needle nose pliers and snapped really easy. 2 packages of 2 stick on handles for the lids were included. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT LIGHTS AVAILABLE. Easy to set up, Very good illumination. They murdered almost every fish in my tank. I would order this again in a heartbeat. I'm really happy with how this turned out.

"So, I bought it."

You have to assemble the LED lights to the hood yourself. Def a good purchase if you are looking for a affordable 55 gallon glass lid. I figured, it's perfect, it has to fit. Even at petco that sold me the tank. Unlike others on Amazon, this is real tempered glass and very strong. Now, getting to what I know you are all reading this review for- the new tank lids. We were not able to get the covers on without lubricating them first.

Juwel 93905 Final Thoughts

"I'm happy with my hood."

Also, as far as the plastic back piece being hard to fit on lid. I immediately went to putting it together, which sounds easier that it really is. Mine slid right on with no problem so that might be an issue that they have fixed. I like that there's a double opening and that the pop outs are easy to remove. I love it love it love it, and my fish are now happy! Had a small issue with the handles. You do have to put the LED's in yourself but it is super super easy.

"This hood is excellent."

Nice that the seller called to ensure a good fit before shipping. It came with 8 hooks, but I only needed the 2. Then he texted me to let me know when my order was shipped. Overall everything came intact and its working so I'm satisfied. Don't know about their longevity though. Bought one for a 10 gal Tetra aquarium.

"It was quite junk."

Additionally, the lighting with the original hood was terrible. Purchased this for my 29 gallon Tetra Open Glass Tank. Because it comes with the handles unattached so you can place them where you want. MIGHT DO YOU GOOD TO CHOOSE ANOTHER BRAND. It's nothing major just something to know if you have a stupid fish like me lol. I am quite happy with the product otherwise. The WS2812B LED lights are simply resting on top of the glass.

Because it comes with the handles unattached so you can place them where you want. I think a tank could have rolled over the box and the glass wouldn't have cracked! Dont blame manufacturer if you can read a ruler. I have an Aqueon QuietFlow 30 and it fit just fine. OMG it fits perfectly and make my tank look more vivid& beautiful.

"This will help immensely!"

I have a hanging filter across the back on one side. Then he texted me to let me know when my order was shipped. THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT LIGHTS AVAILABLE. When I would attempt to feed them, these monsters would JUMP out of the tank. Mine slid right on with no problem so that might be an issue that they have fixed. Aside from these complaints I am very happy so I give it 4 stars. They provide extra handles just in case which is nice.

inTank WB20CV First Impressions

"So far they're sticking."

They dont have any borders on them to make handling easier. I thought of putting some hot silicone to prevent this, but never got to do it. I mean it's the same brand and says it's for our size tank. Nice that the seller called to ensure a good fit before shipping. The instructions are good, I suggesting following them. The tape provided has a little tab that makes it easy to peel and stick. Perfect fit for older aquarium's with thicker center piece and sides.

"The fit, the look."

Other than that, it was really easy to put together and set up. The lighting had failed in my 55 gal aquarium. The instructions are good, I suggesting following them. I got the package within a couple of days, much sooner than I expected. WE are very happy with these glass covers. The design is very low profile which I like a lot. I bought this for my 55 gallon tank that has no divider, thinking it would work.

"It is just what I wanted."

When I purchased these glass covers, I did it with my fingers crossed. When I first picked up the package, it was really light. Don't know about their longevity though. Yet another reason why I hate Top Fin. Sitting on the couch you can barely tell there's a hood on the tank. It would have been much easier to trim it prior to assembly. I have a 50 gallon tank with middle bar.

"It's low profile."

I bought this after the marine-land LED lid failed on me. It installed easily and looks great. Also, received a week earlier than scheduled date. When I purchased these glass covers, I did it with my fingers crossed. I ordered this canopy for my planted tank to cut down on evaporation. Two peel and stick plastic lift pulls are provided. When I first picked up the package, it was really light.

I have a Penn Plax 1200 filter on my 55 gallon tank. Def a good purchase if you are looking for a affordable 55 gallon glass lid. Just buy the correct ones and you'll be fine. Some of the reviews I read were quite unclear. With these glass pieces, I was able to use my large light bar. Def a good purchase if you are looking for a affordable 55 gallon glass lid.
