Marineland (Aquaria) AMLPR3410 Aquarium Hood with Lamp Base Replacement Assembly for Eclipse Power

We purchased this replacement cover for an Eclipse 12 freshwater home aquarium. The Eclipse 12 is what many wold consider a modest "desktop" sized aquarium that is great for home or office, and especially great for kids. Well, the hinged lid on the Eclipse we had broke, as did the built in light.

We purchased this new hood with lamp base to keep out Eclipse 12 running. This unit is well made, and we were happy to get a light that could work again, as the other died as a result of calcium deposits ( typical with hard water, no fault of the product).

Everything was great, until we realized this hood assembly did not come with a lid to keep the fish from jumping out of the tank! The Eclipse 12 came with a lid, but it brokeso we were expecting this replacement to have the lid already in it. NOPE.

This product is well made and works fine, but lacking that lidI just don't get it....it's a $2.00 plastic part that should ABSOLUTELY be part of this package for the price! If you are in need of a lid too, be aware that you will have to find one separately. We have been unable to locate one as of yet!!

Given that fact that this is not a standard hood size makes this tank undesirable. The filtration system is good, but the hood design is the worst. The light goes out a lot and the bulbs are $12 each. The little flap to feed the fish is a strange shape and right over the carbon filter so half the time you end up feeding the filter instead of the fish and it gets messy. I think I paid $89 at the local shop for the tank, but the hood system itself is $35 to replace.

I would stick with the standard size aquariums with the standard hoods and pay extra for a fluval filtration system and nice skimmer. I'm reconsidering replacing the tank instead of buying the new hood system.

The tank is pleasing to look at and is bright, though.

When our original lamp broke (poor design cover cracked and moisture gets in) I ordered this. While it works, it is still a poor design and I'm sure will break again within a year or so. Plus, this doesn't fit the tank quite the same as the original and now the tank has calcium/lime build up all down the sides of the tank an d not just the lid.
