Glass tank cover?

[Charlie.636]

I cut some egg crate to fit as a lid still allows for good light penetration and air exchange while keeping those fishies where you want them.

I think this is going to be my plan as well! Show some pics!!

one problem with egg crate is they reflect a lot of light back onto your bulbs and can reduce the life of the bulbs. I would go with the 1/4" DIY screen lids from Bulkreefsupply

I'll get you some pics tomorrow, I believe my squares are 1/2" but I'm not sure. 54seaweed has a thread, Round 2, I stole his idea and he's got pics, FYI.

I picked this diffuser up at Home Depot. 13.97

Since I have some 'In-Tank' equipment I had to cut the top to fit around it all.

Any of you Canadian folk that want some help on local (Canadian) equipment online fire me a pm. I know of a few places and also of a place for decent led lights.

I think that looks great! And very cost effective.

Home Depot calls this stuff diffuser? And in the lighting section?

 

[Pisces3473]

In lighting yes, not sure what the specific name is. Product label says, "White Louvre."

At my home depot the dumb lighting guy had no idea what I was talking about. Found it in the construction side of the store.

Hey Pisces I finally got around to getting some eggcrate. What did you use to hold the egg crate? Top of my tank is just glass.
