True err. Just dont want the tank to look like a DIYS tank and by putting a hood on it will make the tank heat up more. I would like to keep the top open with the glass cover it has. This is the only thing that has me hung up on.....

$129 for a 150watt metal halide. Thats what i went with for my 29g tank. I got the 14k bulb, its a cheap bulb and you can tell its not as blue as it should be but all in all im extremely happy with the fixture for the price. I was originally going to go with the 4bulb 14" T5 set up but they are switching to new models and were sold out.
VERY happy with the fixture. It feels kinda cheap when handling it, but it looks super sleek and works well.
