I looked them up on the aquapod website. I have seen pictures of them, but thought they were MH. So once again I am bumed out. I was hoping it was a light I could just put in my hood.
Isn't there anyway to get better lighting, with out haveing an open tank?

There is a web site called Nano Customs / Nano Tuners that sells modded canopies for most major nano tank brands. That's going to be about the only way to do it.

Bang Guy, I would just like to ask you what type of lights do you recommend for the average person starting out in this hobby that only wants to keep easy things like mushrooms, zoos etc without going to the very expensive light system?

No way, thats crazy!! I'll have to check that out. It might be cheaper to just buy a new tank. Is that a 12 gal?
How does the t-5 compare to MH? Could I keep a red brain, or one of those small bright blue clams?
