Stupid question; Does this, by itself, function as the complete aquarium "top"? And can I feed the fish through it without removing it completely?

yes and yes. It is on hinges so you can lift it up, but at times I just let the food drop between the filter and the back. On the front, you can pull the piece out by the handle to make it easier to lift. A couple of things I do not like is that the brackets do not stay firmly in place on the back of the tank and the light is not very bright.

There is a frame part that is attached to the aquarium walls that this will rest on along the edges. If you mean not including that part, then yes, it is the entire hood. It comes with clips so you can open it and it stays open if opened wide enough. Careful though, the hinges are poorly made.

Yes it is a complete hood. It has a cut out for your filter. There is also a piece that slides out of the front so you can feed fish thru it.

First off, the hood is hinged. Meaning you can lift it without completely setting it aside. It also has a panel in the front that can be removed in order to feed your fish through.

This is a complete hood for your aquarium. The lights are bright on each setting. My only complaint is that there is no way to feed the fish with lifting up the entire lid UNLESS you snap out one of the from slots. That I didn't like. I still recommend this hood however.

The red base does separate from the wire top. As for attaching it to a fish tank, the size would have to be right and you would have to come up with a way of doing that as I doubt the tank has clips on it to receive the top of a hamster cage - if it does, then you're good to go.

Yes, you can add more fish, I have 8 in mine. Yes, the top comes off. Love my sensory bubble lamp.

I have this platform on our 60 gallon tank with two turtles, a little bigger than yours. The ramp goes down into the water in the center, which makes them unable to escape by going off the ramp sideways and out over the top. The top has a metal secure wire door, and even if your turtle was strong, you could zip tie or wire tie it closed, although mine have never been able to stand on hind legs to investigate this! :) I will try to post some pictures of it at different angles for you

Yes. This looks nice but, it doesn't clean like it's supposed to. You'll have to empty it often to keep a goldfish healthy.

Yes, I used it as a freshwater tank. However, there are better alternatives for freshwater that are cheaper and give you much more tank space for the same footprint. I retired my Nuvo and went to a standard tank with a hang on filter. Also, small fish (I had the problem with a couple of loaches) can get into the filter through the overflow and it is next to impossible to get them out- there are almost no saltwater fish small enough to be a problem.

It includes 2 clip-on suction cups that can mount anywhere on the body, and being submersible it can go most anywhere in the tank that has decent flow, as long as it is not in direct contact with something that shouldn't get hot. When on, the heater doesn't get so hot you can't touch it, so there isn't much of an issue with fish or decorations getting burned by it, but it does provide less intense heat and is a little longer than a glass heater of the same wattage, so if in doubt, get the next size up heater. You could easily mount this in a sump or overflow given it's big enough with enough water volume and flow to keep the temp stable and heater fully submerged.

No, you must remove the tank from base and fill from the bottom ( not that difficult )

It says fully submersible but most heaters that I have used state that the top plastic portion with controls should be kept dry and out of the water. Mine is vertical. I suppose you could try it-without the fish and see what happens. Of course if it shorts out you may not be able to send it back.

I personally think it would be just fine. The top is flat, not solid, but quite sturdy. It would only be 2 1/2 inches on either side to hang off. I think you will enjoy the stand! We love it.. It's perfect for our aquarium! Hope this helps! Happy shopping!Jenn

It has holes in the top for feeding, filter and even a added heater. Yes it has a lid and the lid is fairly sturdy unless you put way too much weight on it. Depending on the filter and size you could put in another filter if you wanted to..I have this tank and my niece has one too..

Yes it can be removed. It is not attached. It is just wedged in. It's made of styrophome - like a cheap cooler. We love the tank though.

The decor tray in the bottom? It's attached with some suction cups so you can take it out if you want to pretty easily, but it also holds pretty well if you want it to stay in there. I never used it in the tank. There's also some grooves and holes in the bottom of the tray so aquatic plants can take root better.

This is just for you to remove protein build up . You should still run this in conjunction with a filter , prefferably something like a wet/dry , something like a Eheim Canister filter (not sure what size you are trying to setup, so cannot recomend the model). The protein skimmer is not a mandatory item to have in a salt water aquarium (I had it off mine for a few months before I got to put in the replacement) , but it does significantly improve water quality for the fish . Some hardy fish will do without it , but if you want to have a nice healthy aquarium , this is the way to go . Mine has just the Eheim 2217 and this Skimmer for over 3 years now , and the same clown fish since the initial setup. This is just for you to remove protein build up .

The entry top is a little small and cumbersome. The rectangular opening is approximately 5x7 inches. I was able to get a larger piece of driftwood in there. Just remember not to fill it very much before trying to place decor or plants...water displacement is a lot when you stick an arm in there! Also, it's a little hard to get stray leaves out of the tank when cleaning it. But, it's a beautiful tank, and worth the set up hassle!

This is not an aquarium. It is a terrarium. It is meant for lizards and such. The front opens and it is not intended to hold water.

nope, not even a little, you must buy an aquarium separate. you would be better off with a little cage off craiglist.
