Honestly, I have not decided yet. I contemplated Cichlids, but then I would have to find a home for the Danios. So I have been looking for something compatible with the Danios.
Made the hood bigger for a few reasons
1) Hood has to be big enough so the tank covers can be opened without hitting the lights.
2) Definite full access to anything, such as removing my power filter if needed.
3) Keeps the light from being right next to the water.
4) And finally, better circulation of air to keep the lights cooler.
By the way, the horizontal door on the hood detaches as a whole. It is not a door w/ hinges, but connected by magnets. Can post a pic if anyone is interested for their own.
xltd, your a genuis if I say so myself. That's a very impressive cabinet and hood, not sure about the colour but all to their own, it probably goes with your furniture. I think your tank would make a nice planted tank, maybe consider it in the future?
Very nice!
