Interesting idea for those folk who wish to do maintenance and don't have the strength, co-ordination, or balance to lift up hoods out of the way. Sometimes they are very heavy depending upon the size of the tank.

I found the motor for the unit quite loud, and wondered if it would make the fish neurotic, then I noticed that as it reached the apogee, it seemed to sway quite a bit. I imagine this vibration and jerkiness would be transfered to the glass tank and its occupants.

A nifty idea nonetheless, and certainly one aspect of large tanks that would preclude having to be a weightlifter to get the cleaning and maintenance done.

I still think a lazy susan for large tanks would also be a cool addition to aid in tracking the light of the day. But that is just me.
