Great lid idea. Home Depot donated millions to make the Georgia Aquarium happen. I prefer Home Depot.

I used this stuff on my aquariums and it works great!! Also used the 2” tape for a wrap around the open sides to seal up the open cells, a small upward extended wrap makes a nice lid handle too.

Great demonstration, I use it in all my fish tanks; they are worth the expense. As for how to keep the water from getting inside them ( prevent algae ), I'm going to try and seal the holes with silicone. The dollar store sell the same type of hooks in smaller size. Another advantage of those lids is that they help reduce the humidity and water evaporation.

Yep it would take an eternity to seal every hole on 50 tops lol

Great idea! Thanks! My husband made me a couple out of some airplane plastic sheets (lexan) they use as templates mostly for cutting holes in the body of planes. They were fantastic. Lasted years. But they are finally done. Mostly cause the metal for the hinges/handles are pulling away due to the 'grime' etc. I doubt many people have access to those materials but if you do it's brilliant.

You can probably make a handle with the scraps and silicone. Also you probably can also seal the edges with silicone so they don't get dirty on the inside. I need to try this, tank lids are expensive, and I have one tank without a lid, one with an old lid, and one that's an awkward shape that my new cat messed up. It was old and cheap plastic, so it would have messed up sooner or later. It's a rimless so I would have to find a way to add clips.

Instead of using masking tape as a hinge, cannot you have one large piece, cut only one layer where you want it to bend and so the other layer would hold the two sides together but would be able flexible? I might do something like this, but I will have to adapt it to a hob filter.

@JadrenAquatics 5 лет назад
I actually use 2" packing tape, but yes I have not thought about that but I bet that would work pretty well. Might finally break after it bent enough times. Thanks!

Yeah, but can air get through this material. The whole ideal of getting away from glass tops is so the tank can breathe and to cut down on heat. Only problem with egg crate is salt creep and the loss of light. The soft netting covers seems to be the best option. Only downside is you have to build it. I see this is an old thread, but I'll subscribe and click the bell to see if anyone replies. Thanks
