I have a topfin 20 gallon long tank that is open on top . I was wanting to find a hood with a light for it. Do you know where I can find one? It is 30 inches long

BigAls.com has some of the best prices on the internet. I have ordered lights and glass tops for several tanks and have been very pleased.

I get all my equipment there. I just ordered a flourescent light strip and hood for my 5 1/2 gallon and one for a 10 gallon.

I got a hood for my 20 long from petsmart. I printed the price from their website and brought it in so I didn't have to pay for shipping.

Thanks Everyone. I got my tank at petsmart, but it seems the two stores by me just sell the lights not the hood light combo

Well - still having some minor problems with my new setup, but I'd really, really like to send you mine! Can you message me separately, perhaps, to talk about it? I have no takers up here yet.

I would love to have it. But didn't you say you were way far away from me? Live in St.Louis

Yes - I'm in New York State. But I can try to pack the thing up safely and see how much it would cost to mail it. Although I was considering selling it, I'm not impoverished and would be okay if you were willing to just pay the price of shipping. I would insure it for you - and that would be free.


It's a pretty good hood (the light is not perfect, but at least one bulb works consistently) and not a bad filter for a 20 long. Not really powerful enough for a bigger tank, IMHO, but these are nice lookiing systems and very easy to maintain. So - let me know what you think. I may not be able to get to the P.O. until Saturday, unfortunately, but I will try to get it packed up by then.

That sounds great. I would pay the shipping. Does the filter detach , because I do not want to give up my top fin 40 which moves 200 gph. It is a pretty good filter and would not want to give it up. Thanks for thinking of me.

When you say - does the filter detatch - that's a tough question to answer! These are all-in-ones, with allt he pluses and minuses that involves; you *can* take out the filter, but you are left with the slot it fits in, and it's pretty hard to get another hob filter in there. It's hard to describe - will try to attach some more detailed pictures tonight.

I could not use the second filter my vet gave me with this one running. You *can* use a canister or an air filter in addition to the eclipse, but I'm not at all sure you could use another hob. Will post the pics for you tonight. HTH!

thanks but I want to keep my hob filter. I just got it about a month ago.

I do understand - was hoping I might get this to you, as I'm sure you'd give it a good home, but I'm not sure it will work for you. Anyway, here's the pic:


Note - I am not being allowed to attach the pic, even though I have made it less than 40 kb. I don't get it!


Guess it's just not meant to be.

Mary

thanks for the thought though

Is there a way that you can have your Petsmart order some? I'm sure other people besides you would buy them if they had them.

that is a good idea. Right now just concentrating on paying rent, my car payment and my bills.
