Bought the Oceanic 29 as a hospital tank 18 months ago. Fully running with return pump, hood and the lights and nice stand 110$ Sand, old coral from around the house. A couple wrasses as canary fish. A giant Welso who seems to love the crappy lights. Water change six gallons every two weeks. Like the slip in filter cartridges. Wash em every few days and last a good month. A little filter floss quiets down the flow.
Never thought of taking the hood off for better lighting.......
