I have 2 of these 24 inch hood lights on my 55 gallon Aqueon aquarium and add the (beauty max) light strips to the provided whites and lighting is amazing bringing out the best colors in fish and decor...Highly recommend.
what is the box name of the hood and light fixture that you are using? I have been looking for a hood that can hold LED with a clear window that protects the lights from water damage not the ones that hover above the tank [exg the ones on Petsmart] (which is all I can find online) I really like the setup (hood) your using, and was hoping you may have some direction on where I may find one without driving all over, or is this a custom setup and what I may or would need to do the same. Thankx very much for this video post and hopefully u can get back to me. thankx again.
Aqueon Full Led hood is the name, lol. I bought it from the petstore I work at in Indiana, but I bet Any big name petstores would have it, or something similar.
Hickster58 well indeed thank you very much for the reply and indeed plan on taking a day out shopping around soon, not everything is posted on a website, but the name will deff give me a good direction and at least something to go on hopefully I can find it, I just wasent sure if the name of the video was actually the name of the hood wanted to be sure, I do like that its a built in hood system much like the original incandescent or florescent hoods I remember when I was a kid and still the same style is kicking today \o/ , I simply enjoy the led lighting and the effect it has on the water, but sir thank you very much once again. need more good ppl like urself in the world =)
Nice video. Do you think it would be possible to disconnect the blue light and connect it to a separate plug? I would like to control the white and blue lights separately for purposes of using a timer. Thanks.
Holy crap! your water is so clear... i'm jealous... lol I gotta know though: Does the hood have the option of covering the WHOLE tank?? I have dwarf frogs, so I can't risk having the back open like how it is in your's. Which is why I have an internal filter...
+marcos s Lol:D If I remember correct, it has a plastic insert that I removed to put in my filter, so it should cover the entire tank with the insert in.
Hickster58 Did you remove the legs that the LED light came with to hold it up on the sides? Because I'm wondering if I buy the 36in LED for my 36in hood, and remove the legs, t should fit like yours, right?
This one comes with the entire hood, not just the LED lighting part, so it actually does not have legs, it just sits on a glass part. It's just like a fluorescent hood would be, but with LED lighting instead of fluorescents. So, it should most likely fit in your hood just fine without any manipulating:)
+Hickster58 I bought my aquarium with no hood or anything like that .. On the back of the tank it says 24"L 13"W 12"H but I want to order a hood online but I'm scared of ordering something that and then doesn't fit
Tonya Uribe The hood has multiple plug in for extra strips, but only comes with one strip in the box. You just have to buy an extra and plug it into the hood. Very easy to do, has to be an Aqueon strip though.

How do you clean the hard water stains on the light hood glass?
My tank is 24" × 12.25" x 15.25" in L×W×H What size hood will fit this?
You would need a 24 inch hood
How did you take off the breakout panels
Man I played 65 at petco! Might return it and head some where else for one
I herd the break aways for the back are hard to cut off to fit a filter?
Ashley Gunter I just cut them with good scissors.
okay my fish tank lid lights don't work anymore and my fish are fine should I get a new lid just in case please help
These lights are replaceable. Just pop out the old and in the new.
Aquarium Black 20" Fluorescent Deluxe Full Hood is this the one you have??
Ashley Gunter Sounds right

Your very welcome:) Glad I could help.
+Hickster58 I can only find the led lamps for the modular one, do you know if it'll work with the hood you're using?
I believe so, but not 100% sure
how many gallons is that tank
REDWOLF 3 10 gallons

David DeLasho Sorry, I have no idea.

Nice. What size is your tank? So this means I can replace my incandescent fixture with this newer LED one? I have the exact same hood you do.
This one is a 10 gallon, but you should be able to find this light in other sizes as well.

Hickster58 Thank you, I'll be testing this out
welcome, hope it works for you:)
How can I know the right size hood for my aquarium?
Going off of the measurments. Hoods should have dimensions on the package.
+Hickster58 I bought my aquarium with no hood or anything like that .. On the back of the tank it says 24"L 13"W 12"H but I want to order a hood online but I'm scared of ordering something that and then doesn't fit
+Kay Palmer I think a 20 gallon tall hood should fit. Google the dimensions to make sure.
What brand was the extra led strip you used? Is it the aqueon one? And how did u add it on the hood with the other
Tonya Uribe The hood has multiple plug in for extra strips, but only comes with one strip in the box. You just have to buy an extra and plug it into the hood. Very easy to do, has to be an Aqueon strip though.
Thumbs down I came here to set how to set it up but not shown.
is that the aqueon deluxe led hood model or another model type???
I know it as Aqueon Full Hood, but it is probably also the deluxe
are those zebra finches I hear in the background?
Devonte D Yeah, had a aviary of them when I had my apartment a while back. Awesome little 🐦!
Hickster58 yes I agree I'm looking to get some soon
Does it make it look messy after you cut it?? where can you buy this?
The Aqueon fluorescent light hood stinks. I had to replace mine twice in 6 months. I think I will try this type instead.
Does this work for the aqueon widescreen 13?
FishingWithGreg No, the widescreen will not work with these tops.
Hickster58 thanks
Just bought the 24” hood ... took it out and it doesn’t fit a 24”tank ! The width of the hood is only around 22.5... what bullshit
How did u put it together? I'm a beginner I'm struggling over here! Lol
