Marineland day/night hood 24"

Will this hood be good for my 20 high with an aquaclear 30?

Don't get a hood, get a glass lid, and an LED fixture

Well see my parents agreed to help buy some of the stuff... I only make a little bit of money from chores so 50-100 is a fortune to me lol

I just got this light yesterday and it's sitting on my 20 high (24" long).
No long term experience, but it works and comes in under your budget

Can that be placed on top of a glass lid though?

I forgot about 1 thing... I dont know how to cut out a space for the hob filter...

I use the Nicrew Classic LED for my 20g long. Works like a champ.

I would try to get one with a timer and an adjustable spectrum.

Sure. The legs would simply sit on top of the glass instead of the lip around the tank.

And as far as the HOB filter, just have the glass supported on three sides. Leave it short so the back is open.
