lid

Just wanted to share something we did today. I was in need of a lid for a tank I’m in the process of shutting down. Everything on it is hang on back so it was a bit of a pain. We took some netting from lowes doubled it up and pulled it tight over the top of the tank. Then we used tape to tape it...

I got a Cade aquarium that came with a mesh lid. It fits well, but not when I want to mount things like lights. It did come with extra fittings, but it looks to me like only the corners come apart so I'm not sure what the expected method is for using the extra fittings to customize around...

As the title states, I've been having wipe out after wipe out with gobies & wrasses my tank due to them jumping out. I've got a double -netted red sea "make-it-yourself" lid with gaps less than an inch wide. I'm devastated at the loss and can't bring myself to put anything else in there till...

I’m wondering if anyone has somewhere to get a custom lid for the fluval evo 13.5g, or if anyone who 3D prints or DIYs would be willing to make me one. I need a mesh lid but with the frame not covering the rear 3.5" My in-tank skimmer required me to saw off a 3.5" by 3.5" hole in the rear corner...

My 13.5g fluval evo isn’t mature enough to start adding corals yet, but for when I do, I found this really interesting lid made specifically for that tank (I have to have a lid because of cats). This would give me the ability to get a better light so maybe I could grow more types of coral than I...

Just bought a 72" x 24" tank and I am looking at getting a lid made which obviously takes a while. Do you guys have any suggestions on a temporary night lid that I can create for something this big? Tank is not euro braced or anything. Just trying to avoid my eel jumping out at night.

I used polycarbonate sheets and polycarbonate netting, acrylic screws, and a jigsaw! And super happy with how they turned out :)

advice plz. I need a lid for this 75 gallon tank. There will be 2 radions mount on the back along with the 2 returns. I’m not sure how what lid to do. I was thinking egg crate but then seen it reduces par by so much and then there is the diy kits with the netting. Which I was then thinking but...

For details of the original tank build see my multi-year build thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/skicats-dream-build-saving-the-planet-180-the-making-of-an-epic-aquacultured-mixed-reef.654939/ I am moving and getting rid of the entire setup: Tank, Stand, Sump, Light Hood, Overflow, 2x...

I have this 75 gallon tank I’m planning to buy lights for it soon. I’m wanting to keep the canopy. I’m using radions to light it. From water surface to top of canopy is probably 7 inch’s. Any suggestions? Or do I need to remove canopy and put rms mounts and a lid. If so what lid kit or what lid...

Did any one try building a lid with using this shower door seal as a Frame structure and clear mesh from Amazon as screen? It seems theoretically possible but would love to see some of your designs on how the end product would turn out

i'm in search of a red sea reefer 350 lid (V3), no specific brand, thanks!

Re-doing my 75 gallon tank and was thinking about what to do for the lid. I'm debating a screen top vs Lexan lid from Tenecor...

Hello Is it possible to find the curve/angle of a tank with only the measurements for the length and width? I’ve got an Aqua Japan-60 (AJ-60) and I broke the glass lid and I've been trying to think of ways to create a diy mesh lid somehow, similar to the ones using the DIY window screen...

Hey guys! I got a new light today, which will result in me having to change the lid I use on my main reef tank. I'm curious on where the community's heads are at in terms of they're preferred lid material? I've seen glass, acrylic, egg crate, etc. What types of lids would you recommend I look...

I’m thinking of ordering this lid. My question is, the gap that allows for cords to pass through on the back next to the “false wall” of the AIO filtration chambers.. is the gap large enough for a fish to get through? My whole motivation for purchasing this lid is to keep my starry blenny from...

Hi all, I will give some more details to the title. I recently started my adventure for the first time with saltwater aquaristic, so I have no N years of experience for supporting my claims. I come from freshwater, and before that terraristic (bearded dragons, newts, frogs etc) and a common...

I'm planning on getting a snowflake eel, but I know they are notorious for escaping/jumping and my tank doesn't have a lid. I was planning on making my own custom lid with very narrow cutouts for wires and equipment. For those of you that have a snowflake eel, does the lid need to be latched...

Which is best, mesh or solid glass/acrylic lid top? Is there a reason one is better than the other? What do you have on your Aquarium?

A new reefer asked me this morning if a lid was required. It should be a universal rule that If you have fish, You should have a lid, screen or top of some kind. Your want or desire for, simply, the look of topless Aquarium is selfish. Fish jump, or surf the glass, or accidentally flip out...

Selling a custom top lids screen cover for nuvo all in one 30 gallon tank. Has afs cutout in middle back section and cord cutouts on the sides, and a center feed door. asking $230 shipped.

For those with rimless aquariums, do you add a lid/cover? I’m contemplating a lid in order to add some wrasses, but afraid it will kill the aesthetic of having a rimless aquarium. Provide reasons for your decision in the comments?

Those of you with a waterbox 50 gallon, where did you get your lid from?

I really like the look of no top.does anyone else run there tank topless?

Hey guys so this might be a bit of a stupid question but I can’t seem to find an answer. Anyone know how people get their jumpgaurds so flush to the tank? Does it just sit on top of the tank loosely or is there some sort of clip that keeps them in place? Looking at people’s photos I can’t tell...
