Hello everyone! Just looking for some help with my lid. If you don’t want to read all this, skip to the bold! I’ve been working on my 75g build for some time now and it’s been doing well. I’m actually seeing my fist diatoms and I couldn’t be more proud. However, I’ve really been struggling with getting an aquarium lid && need some help. I used some thin acrylic from Home Depot that concaved less than a week of being on the tank. Right down the middle and into the water I then tried glass, but the glass store could only cut out holes for the return pump and stuff if it was 1/4” thick. This worked okay until I put a new coral into the tank while it was still in the bag.. You see, my overflow is pretty high up, and, as a result, my water level is also “high up. SReally jig jkdeee.
I need something that is going to: allow ample light to pass, be lightweight, and be easy to cut. So what material should I use?
I’m trying to avoid mesh and any heavy glass. My tank is going through a decent amount of water each week due to evaporation and the rim isn’t the strongest so it has to be something light-weight.
