This whole tank setup was secondhand and given to me for free. It's not ideal. I HATE the filter, the heater's good, the hood/lighting sucks. The lid is broken and cracked and I need a setup that allows me a lot better lighting so I'm going to build a setup myself and hopefully replace or at least add a second filter soon enough. But for now.... What are some good ideas to cat proof the tank?
You can see in this pic that there's about an inch of space between the water output and the hood.

There's also space around the heater. Noah, the evil bastard cat kept knocking the top of the filter box too. Plus, the hood lid falls off/in sometimes.

We just moved and the tanks are temoporarily on the floor on top of their elegant cinder block and 2x8 stands so they're really accesible to the pets.
