So over the weekend I broke down and spent the time to properly cut out the egg crate to fit around everything, and zip tied the screen to the crate, which worked out perfectly. Now it is much easier to lift the lid off vs having 6 different lids covering it.

I do have all the fish in 1 tub, and like your idea of separating out the fish and equipment into different tubs. If I had to do it over again and new upfront I'd have 2 containers that would definitely be the way to go, however due to evaporation and gravity with the drains, the ATO and pump intake have to stay where they are, and I don't want to stress the fish out by having to catch and relocate them to the other tub, so I will stick with the overly difficult lid I made this weekend, and know better for next time!
I'll keep the bioballs in mind as well..My main concern with the sponges is going to be nitrate buildup, so I will keep an eye on that and make changes if necessary.
Thanks for the input!
