All Glass Aquarium AAG21220 Fluorescent Deluxe Hood, 20-Inch

I brought this hood from petco and it does fit my 10 gallon aquarium very will because my aquarium is also from aqueon so anyone out there if you want a cheap and great looking hood this is the one for you but remember it onloy fit 10 gallon aquarium

I did a lot of research on this it does fit a standard all-glass aquarium. You will need a set of clippers or a dremel to take off the excess "flashing" to make it fit, but with a little buzz, its no problem!

I've owned nothing but All-Glass aquariums for almost 10 years, and in my experience, the plastic hoods are a waste of money. I've owned many, and have been impressed by none. The All-Glass VersaTops are far superior in my opinion.

1.) The deluxe hoods generally come with a single-tube strip light with no reflector, only cheap plastic above the bulb. The twin-tube strips will have a reflector to increase the efficiency of the bulb. Invest in at least a twin tube right away (make sure to get the twin-tube glass tops as well), especially with the deeper tanks. Quality of lighting is much better without having to break the bank with specialized lighting.

2.) The access panel is clumsy and the plastic hinged joints break or crack easily. Every one I've owned has been very noisy when opening/closing. Glass tops offer more visibility and a smoother range of motion (they're quiet and will last longer).

3.) More inconvenient to clean than a glass top. Visibility of water spots/mineral buildup very obvious if you don't maintain them properly. Usually takes a lot of scrubbing to remove the deposits completely.

4.) Oak accent coating on light strip tends to wear off easily.

5.) Hood allows for a greater rate of evaporation. Glass fits snugly into the lip of the aquarium and greatly reduces evaporation; i.e., you don't have to top-off the water frequently.

6.) Cutouts on the rear of the hood are inconvenient and if the outlined pattern is followed, leaves too much room for that occasional fish to escape (nobody wants carpet-critters) and restricts customization for placing equipment. Glass VersaTop has a clear plastic strip for the rear panel which is easy to cut (to your specifications, also helps with evaporation, leaves less room for jumping fish to escape) and is very easily replaced.

In my experience, the hoods are functional, but I've found glass to be far superior in performance, reliability, quality, appearance and maintenance (and I haven't broken one yet).

I had one with led lights before. I love this one because it protects the light from water or mist. It is bright and shows the fish very well.

It fits perfectly, a very well made hood. The only problem is the light. I only wish they had put in a fluorescent light in instead of the sun replicating light. It turns the color tone of the tank green. It may not be a bad thing for some aquarists but, I have a few decorations in the tank that look better with a fluorescent glow light as opposed to a sun replicating light.
