What suggestion do u guys have as far as glass tops, hoods, and lighting for my 125 gallon tank that will be housing peacock bass, clown knife, couple of catfish, and an oscar?
 
lighting is a personal preference,It really depends on wether your going to have live plants(more light) or not then the usual lighting. There are a lot good light ste ups,I have a corallife unit and only run the two of four to light my FW set up. I also have all glass top thats easy to wipe and keep clean.
 
ok, im not gonna be keepin live plants but i will have glass tops im just having a problem findin the setup to fit my 125 gallon (72in long) im new to this so i dont really know where to start and all, do i just find like 2 30in setup to fit the 72in or do they make a full length for mine?
 
try google search for aquarium lighting and there should be tons of choices. check out for sale here too!
 
what do i measure to figure what size hoods i need? i measured where the 2 dividers in my tank sit and it was like 22.5 in but i can only find hoods sized 24" sooooo....what do i do?
 
I have the same sized tank as you, except taller. if you go to your LFS and tell them your tank size, they will give you the right ones, if there wrong, take them back. as for a light, you could get two shorter lights(30in to 36in each) or you could get a 4 foot light. the four foot light will light the entire tank anyway
