Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Many tropical fish enthusiasts end up interested in one of the aspects of acquarium fishkeeping involving better lights than the standard combo hoods that come with beginner acquarium kits (mostly black plastic with a glass insert and weak flourescent light strip).
I am into planted tanks, which require more intense lighting. I use compact flourescents. As a result, a glass cover is necessary, to allow as much light in as possible. Also, in this northenr climate, it is required to retain heat, reduce evaporation, and prevent hatchet fish from jumping to their doom on the floor.
Perfecto/Marineland's "glass canopies" are great. I have several.
Heads up though, on compatibility.
In my local area, aquariums (aquaria) are avaialbe from two manufacturers -- "All Glass" and "Perfecto (Marineland)." I had both and both seem fine. One problem is that the glass covers each makes are not compatible with the other's aquariums (glass boxes)! I learned this the hard way, and so hope to spare you the trouble.
Another issue here is that the big box pet stores (and others?) often rebrand or cover up the true manufacturer (either "All Glass" or "Perfecto-Marineland") with their own store brand! But one can tell by carefully examining inspection labels, or label on the plastic light hoods they are kitted with.
If you buy an "All Glass" brand glass cover it won't fit a "Perfecto-Marineland" aquarium, and vice versa -- even though the two aquariums are both standard dimensions for the glass box (i.e., "55 gallon; 20 gallon long; etc.)
If you have an "All Glass" (including rebranded) be sure to get an "All Glass" "Versa-Top" glass cover.
If you have a "Perfecto-Marineland" aquarium (including rebranded) be sure to get a Perfecto or Marineland "Glass Canopy."
Surprisingly, most pet and fish shop employess were unaware of this issue. and most stores only carry one type and not the other!
