Ok cool. I'm also swapping out the default Fluval with an Eheim. My other question is obviously the hood is a tad under-watted as far as any plants might go, I can't remember the exact wattage of the bulb on the normal starter kit hood, but it sucks. I'm working at constructing my own. The tank is 36" wide so I can put a 3 foot fluorescent strip across that will take a 30 watt dayglo bulb. Multiple by 3 strips and that is still only 90 watts, how do most people make their own hoods with sufficient lighting?
