Hello everyone I’m new to the aquarium hobby and chose to go saltwater from the start. This forums seems to pop up all the time when I google my questions and figured I would join. I have a couple of questions. Glass lid or screen for my aqueon 40g breeder tank? And for my lighting I think ima go with nicrew. Should I get two 50w or two 100w

I use glass but requires periodic cleaning and filters light slightly.
Screens allow more light in, but also allows occasional splashing and grids need periodic cleaning

Hello and Welcome to R2R! You will find this to be a great site. I did a DIY mesh lid with aluminum hinges. There is no hard fast set way for a lid really. I went with the mesh for gas exchange, but as Vetteguy said, you do have to clean the salt off of the mesh sometimes.
