Anyone got any idea where you can get cheap fish tank hoods from? I'm after a 30" x 12" with light fitting facilities but cheapest I can find is £50 


fishkeeping forums, I am an aquarium nutcase, well a nutcase in general, but fish forums are the best place to go to get a used one, if you can find a match, cheaper too.

what make is the tank? jewel by any chance?
what's wrong with the ballast anyway?
I got the tank second hand from the mrs' (not married) sister. It has no markings and the lid is missing (obviously).
It's 30" x 12" with no lips for lids to rest on so needs to be a overlapping hood.

My last set of 2 foot lights and lighting unit was over £100, stop bitching£50 aint bad for the lid and lights. You'll pay more for a new tank and lights dumb assMy last set of 2 foot lights and lighting unit was over £100, stop bitching
#cheapskate

if it's cheaper cut perspex and make a lid, any auld **** light can go on top if it's for freaking goldfish
Do you have a water filter and heater?
) I though I'd try and get a lid.I like cheap, only thing better is free
I know £50 isn't bad now I've looked around, just surprised at how much they cost when I started looking. **** paying £50 though, I'll make a wooden one![]()

Dig a hole in the garden, fill it with water.
Ta da, you have a pond for free to keep them in.
