im a little bit concerned with the no hood, i have heard people having problems and not having problems with the no lid. i think at night i will have a styrofoam hood just to place over the top, but durning the day i dont know if i should leave it just the way it sits, or have some wrap around piece for the top to prevent fish jumping out of the tank.

I wouldn't put styro on top just in case you ever forget to take it off or your light timer malfunctions. Fish type will tell you if they're prone to jumping so research before you buy. You could put eggcrate on top as a lid or build something that sits on your trim. I can post pics of mine if you want to see what I did.

Remember the rule "at least a month before adding fish". Don't let anybody push you into rushing your system... all I'm going to say.

Ya im really excited to get that tank home. i have an electrician coming to wire my basement seperate breakers off the box for all the equipment. I am really happy with the setup they gave me for a sump and stuff to i think its gonna work out really nice. I cant wait to have tons of photos on this sight. If everything goes the way i hope, you will all have great advice for me and with the help of all the people on this sight the tank will flourish
