Some of the newer hood systems will definitely help - I used one of the first generation Eclipse systems a few years ago. It worked well but the biofilter gunked up quickly and needed to be rinsed weekly. Any ideas here are welcome.

the hood on my 25 gal is an eclipse but the previous owner gutted all the filter stuff out of it. i have a fluval2 submersable filter working in it now....soooo quiet. i find the area where the filter was a great storage space for nets and the like that drip when you put them away
